Academic Google Groups

Academic Google Groups

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 or browse to https://groups.google.com, click on the apps grid icon and click "Add a shortcut".

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, view Google's instructions on changing Group permissions.

Adding additional members

You can add additional addresses (other instructors, visitors, etc) on your own which will not be removed by the synchronization process. See Google's 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).
