G Suite

What is G Suite?

Oakland University participates in G Suite to offer a single email service for the university. Google offers to educational institutions a core suite of services, email, calendars, and other productivity tools, through G Suite, an integrated communication and collaboration solution. Oakland University has entered into agreement with Google to provide the Core Suite of services to Oakland University students, faculty, and staff members. This solution enables OU to provide OU-branded, advertising-free access to a variety of popular cloud-based tools at a low cost to the university. Please review the FAQ documentation to review the list of Core Suite applications and additional information in the Core Suite, including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Hangouts, Meet, and Classroom. Some features, such as Google Templates, may require approval from a moderator by sending a request to uts@oakland.edu.

G Suite terms and conditions are available for review as the G Suite for Education Agreement.  Please note these are modified from time to time by Google. G Suite for Education is authorized for university work; this is different from personal Gmail accounts, which are not authorized for university work.

Compliance with Section 508 and the Americans With Disabilities Act is ongoing. Compliance can be checked here: G Suite Administrator Guide to Accessibility.

Review the current status of G Suite services on the G Suite Performance Status Web Site.

Specific details about webmail services are posted under Webmail Gmail Services.
