Academic Google Groups for Classes

To view your class groups via the web interface, log into your UNI email account and click on the apps grid icon at the top of the page followed by the "Groups" icon.

If you are unable to locate the "Groups" icon: Browse to https://groups.google.com, click on the apps grid icon and click "Add a shortcut".

Please note the following items.
Emailing your class group: you do not need to use the Google groups web interface to communicate with your class unless you choose to.  You can simply send email to the class email address.  The formula for a class email address is SUBJECT-1000-01-semester@uni.edu, substitute your course information as follows:

SUBJECT - Course subject as listed in the SIS.  (Examples: ACCT, ARTHIST, ELEMECML, MATH)
1000 - Course number
01 - Course section
semester - Course term (fall, spring, or summer)

For example, the email address for Accounting 1000 section 1 for the fall semester would be: ACCT-1000-01-fall@uni.edu.
Enabling student participation
By default, class Google groups are created "announcement-only" and only the primary instructor is allowed to email or share items with the group.  If you would like to allow your students to participate as well, here are instructions on expanding your group's permissions.

Adding additional members
You can add additional addresses not in the SIS (other instructors, visitors, etc) on your own, they will not be removed by the synchronization process.  Here are instructions on adding members to your group.

Class group memberships are updated nightly
Group memberships are updated nightly with the current roster stored in the Student Information System (SIS).
