Three Options

Which group is right for you and your department/section? We strongly suggest using Option #1 or #2 for your departmental needs.

1. Google group associated with your email address that you create, maintain, and manage.

The email associated with this account would be example-group@austincc.edu. The –group is added to the email address.
Members of this group may email documents to fellow group members.

2. Departmental Google group associated with an allocated owner that maintains and manages the group.

Complete “the form” identifying the desired group name and the initial owner.
If the owner of this group is to leave the ownership may be moved to another owner.
Members of this group may email documents to fellow group members (they are housed on the discussion board), may send emails and reply to emails from group members, and use the discussion board.

3. $$$ (PHASE II – Google Apps for Education). Departmental Google Group associated with the Department Email.

Additional costs associated with the creation of this group.
This type of group would have the exact features as each individual ACC employee when logging into Google Apps for Education (i.e. calendar, documents, sites, etc.).
Must be requested directly through IT with supervisor approval.
Requires you to maintain an additional email account.

It is strongly recommended that you choose Option #1 or Option #2. Below you will find step-by-step directions for Option #1 and Option #2.
