Overview

The Google Contacts app allows UWF students, faculty, and staff to create contact groups.  Google Contacts calls these groups labels.  Unlike with Google Groups, Google Contacts labels cannot be shared with other users.  Google Contacts is ideal for

  • students wanting to have a single place to list their teammates on group assignments
  • individual employees who have to email the same third-party vendors or set of employees on a regular basis


Warning
titleOnly UWF retirees have indefinite access to contacts saved in Google Contacts for their UWF Google accounts

Nearly all other users (including former students and former employees) should avoid saving their personal contacts in Google Contacts for their UWF Google accounts.  Students and employees should create and use a personal Google account, and then create Google Contacts labels for that personal Google account.
