You can make a request with your Department's Connect Department Admin (Often times, it will be the Business Officer or MSO) to create a Google Group Mailing List for you.

You can also make a request with us by contacting help@engineering.ucsb.edu for a Google Group Mailing List.

You may also want to look up some of the following resources in order to make best use of Google Groups here:

Default Format

For group name, it should be in the following format to preserve campus namespace:

<Department>-<groupname>-list

Example:eci-test-list

Default Settings

  • Visible in Global Address list - Default: Off
  • Moderation - Default: Off
  • Archives - Default: Off

note: moderation is highly recommended as unmoderated lists have a tendency to attract spam and spoofers
