Instructions

Step 1

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.

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. See the Configuring a Google Group for multiple domains/organizations above.

Step 3

Click Outstanding invites to view your outstanding invites.
