Helpful information on using UD's integrated communication and collaboration suite including: UD Gmail, Calendar, Drive, and more.
Google Workspace is UD's integrated communication and collaboration suite. Based on the Google Apps for Education offering to higher education and K-12 customers, it is a robust (and ad-free) "business" version of the free consumer Google applications. Google Workspace accounts are provided to all UD students, faculty, and staff upon enrollment or employment.
Unlike a consumer Gmail account, a UD Gmail account is administered by UD, offered ad-free, and offers unlimited email storage space. Your UD Gmail address is in the format of <UD_username>@udayton.edu.

Group sites provide collaborative web pages for teams, labs, working groups, etc. Using Google Group sites, groups can publish, access, share, and edit a variety of information (e.g., videos, calendars, presentations, attachments and text) in one place. Group sites can have multiple "owners."
