Instructions

Log in to Gmail.com. Be sure you're logging into the account that owns your Google Group.

Step 2

Go to the Google Groups app. Click More to find the Google Groups app, if necessary.

Once you get to your Google Group, then attempt to do the following. The steps below are optional.

UWF uses two domains for its Gmail addresses:

@uwf.edu (for faculty, staff, and departmental email accounts)
@students.uwf.edu (for student accounts)

The email address that created the Google Group determines which domain/organization that Google Group belongs to, and domain/organization cannot change for the Google Group. (for example, if you log into a departmental account and create a Google Group, that Google Group will belong to the @uwf.edu domain/organization. This cannot be changed.)

If you believe your Google Group will have people from multiple domains/organizations, then your Google Group will have to be reconfigured.

Step 3

Click Outstanding invites to view your outstanding invites.

Step 4

If necessary, select the outstanding invites and either resend the invitation or revoke the invitation.
