Summary

Instructions for users on how to request the creation of a new Google Group mailing list.

Body

Overview

Texas A&M Google Group mailing lists must be requested through Technology Services. Groups created as part of Texas A&M's Google Workspace for Education are required to abide by the Acceptable Use Policy included in the the Texas A&M Google Workspace for Education Terms of Use. In order to ensure that all created groups abide by this acceptable use policy, creation of Texas A&M Google Groups is by-request only.

Requesting a Texas A&M Google Group

Requests for a new Google Group must be submitted via a new incident. Either the customer can email helpdesk@tamu.edu, or a student worker can open an incident. In both cases, the following information must be included:

  1. The purpose of the list. Be clear when describing how your list will be used. Lists must conform to the Google Apps at Texas A&M Terms of Use and Texas A&M's agreement with Google concerning the use of Google Apps at Texas A&M. (ex. To collaborate with other universities in investigating the molecular biology of yeast used in fermentation of ale in 19th century Scotland)

  2. The name of the list (ex. Ale Yeast Investigation List)

  3. The email address request. The end of your list will always be lists.tamu.edu (ex. ale-yeast@lists.tamu.edu)

  4. The owner(s) of the list

     
    1. Full name
    2. email address (must be an address associated with a Google Account)
