Departmental Email Address Features

...

• One inbox which all members of the department who have been granted with delegated access can see.
• Email sent from this address will list both the department name and the sender's email address. For Example: Instructional Technology and User Services (sent by gbartle@drew.edu)

In an effort to reduce the many potential complications from too many email addresses, please consider carefully all new email account requests.

Is a departmental email address right for my office? What other options are there?

• Google offers features with labels and filtering that could prove very useful in a departmental account. Additionally, the tip at this post could help you automate organization by directing, for instance, vendor email to ut+moodle@drew.edu and creating filters for all Moodle emails to go to our Moodle label. (Please note: The tip about dots will not apply to your departmental accounts; only the +.)
• Certain situations may be better suited to an alias than a new account. An alias is simply an alternate email address for receiving email. This solution applies in situations where offices change names over time (Business Office > Student Accounts; emails addressed to both business@drew.edu and studentaccounts@drew.edu can go to the same inbox), but might also apply to a use case in your office.
• See below for more information about Google Groups.

Requests for departmental email addresses must be made by the department head by by emailing helpdesk@drew.edu, opening a support ticket online or by calling the University Technology Service Center Helpdesk at 973-408-4357. Questions about which solution is best for your office can also be submitted to the Service Center.Helpdesk. Please provide the following information:

•  Desired email address
•  A minimum two word name for the account
•  The email addresses of those who should be granted delegated access
  
•  The purpose of the account (so that we can recommend an alternative if a different solution will better meet your needs)

Google Groups

Google Groups are most useful as a discussion board for group members. They also allow for easy file-sharing in Google Drive. It is possible to send an a calendar invitation to the an entire group list.

• The group leader is added as the owner of the group. The owner is responsible for management of the group. 
• The owner is responsible for adding and removing members. 
• By default, when members are added, they will be set to 'All Email', meaning any posts that go to the group also get sent to the each member's personal Drew email address.
• Group members who want to send e-mails emails from the group address will need to link their personal mailbox to the group. Instructions follow Google's instructions, which are at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en.

With the exception of Google Groups for Student Clubs, which are managed by Student Activities, University Technology oversees the creation of groups for the Drew community. Requests for a Google Group must be made by the group leader by by emailing helpdesk@drew.edu, opening a support ticket online or by calling the University Technology Service Center Helpdesk at 973-408-4357.
