  • Organize meetings, conferences, or social events among members of a group using a shared Calendar.
  • Have shared Calendars that can be accessed by members of a group
  • Have shared Documents and file storage through Google Drive
  • Have a shared website that can be accesed and maintained by members of the group
  • Read group posts through email, the online interface, or both.

No special setup is required.  For more information on Google Groups please read the Google Groups Servcies Page.

How the service might be used: 

These accounts provide a constant address for email, web pages, as well as other needs, and allow the staff of an organization to work on projects together.

How to request this service: 

To request an account, a representative from the student fund account should complete the Organizational Account Application. A link for this form can be found here: http://sabo.rutgers.edu/services/setting-up-a-webpage/requesting-an-organizational-account

This application should be returned to:

Upon confirmation that the Student Fund Account Holder's account is in good standing (no outstanding invoices/cash advances) this application is then forwarded to Rutgers University Computer Services, who will create the account on the Eden server. OIT will give the requester and additional account members access to the account.
