Google Apps coming to UMD
11.18.09: OIT has begun a phased implementation of Google Apps by group, beginning with students on the Twin Cities campus. Groups will receive an invitation by e-mail when they are eligible to sign up for an account. UMD students are expected to be invited beginning Spring semester, with UMD faculty and staff to follow.
Once activated, a University Google account will offer, in addition to e-mail, access to the University Google Apps suite, and will provide users the opportunity to share documents with others in the University Google space.
For details about the Google Apps initiative, see: OIT: Google Initiative.
