Notre Dame automatically creates a dedicated Google Group for every course section. These groups provide a convenient email list that faculty and students can use for academic communication, including:

• Announcements
• Discussions
• Sharing resources
  
  

How Course Google Groups Work

• Automatic Membership: All registered students and assigned faculty for a course section are automatically added as members.
• Receive Emails: All group members receive emails sent to the group's address directly in their Notre Dame inbox.
• Send Messages: Any subscribed member can send an email to the entire group from their Notre Dame email address.
