Mailing lists at UD: Google Groups

A UD Google Group allows members to communicate with multiple people and view a searchable archive of all messages. Google Groups are ideal for collaborating and sharing ideas with others. Google Groups

• are very easy to use
• provide members with ample storage space
• have threaded and searchable archives that allow members to review previous messages organized by topic or category.

In addition, each member of a Google Group can choose how to receive the messages:

• receive an email copy of each individual message
• receive a daily email with all activity or an abridged digest
• read them only on the Web.
  • Note: Only members with an @udel.edu email address or a Google.com account can read messages stored in a Google Group Web archive.

How to request

Submit a Google Groups request form (Faculty and staff only). You will need to supply the following information:

• the Group owner's name
• the Group owner's UDelNet ID
• the desired name of the Group
  • The name must be at least nine characters long or contain a hyphen.
  • Names may not include the prefix "ud-".
  • Sample names: housing-info, cisc355-010-fall12, or HREmployment.

Only faculty and staff may request a Google Group; requests for a student Google Group must be submitted by UD faculty or staff.
