Course Groups in Google

With the launch of Google@Drew, we automatically create Google Groups for all courses. These groups can be used for simple email announcements or discussion. They may also be used for sharing in other Google applications. For example you can easily share a folder in Google Drive with a course or invite students to a Google Calendar event. 

Similar to Moodle, course groups are connected to Banner course registration. Course groups are automatically updated within a few moments of students registering, adding, or dropping courses. 

Course email addresses

Every Drew course has an email address for its corresponding Google Group in the format CRN-TermCode@courses.drew.edu (i.e. 10044-201410@courses.drew.edu). The Course Registration Number (CRN) is used during TreeHouse registration and can be found in the online TreeHouse Course Search or in your personal faculty or student schedule in TreeHouse. The term code is the 6 digit Banner term code where the first 4 digits represent the academic year and the last 2 digits represent the term (i.e. 10 for Fall, 20 for January, 30 for Spring, 40 for Summer, etc.).
