Obtaining and managing an @u.northwestern.edu (or other Google G Suite) organizational account
@u organizational accounts are used to facilitate communication and collaboration with students. These accounts can be used to establish an organizational identity (e.g., psych-advising@u.northwestern.edu) that can share calendars and documents with other @u.northwestern.edu accounts. Undergraduate and graduate student groups and religious groups can also request organizational @u.northwestern.edu accounts. These accounts can also be used to create a group mailing list (of other @u.northwestern.edu accounts).
