What happened to the course email addresses based on subject and course number (i.e. ANTH-103-001@courses.drew.edu)? Prior to the implementation of Google at Drew, we provided course email aliases in the form of Subject-CourseNumber-Section@courses.drew.edu while a term was in session in addition to the permanent term-specific CRN-TermCode@courses.drew.edu address. With the move to Google, we are currently unable to offer the Subject-CourseNumber-Section@courses.drew.edu addresses. While it is possible for a Google Apps administrator to manually add an alias to a group, Google does not provide a mechanism for us to do this automatically for all course groups. When Google adds the ability to assign group aliases in a way that can be automated, we intend to reinstate the alias addresses you are familiar with. However, if you start typing the Subject-CourseNumber in the To: field of an email you are composing, the course group email address will auto-complete for you. Keep in mind that courses with multiple sections (such as first year seminars) will all appear, so be careful which one you choose! |

Note that only instructors have permission to view the member list of a course group. Because of this security restriction, if a student attempts to send an event invitation to a course group, the list of students will not be "expanded". Students will still be able to send the invitation, but Google Calendar will not be able to search the students' schedules or track individual responses.
