Gmail Arrives Fall Quarter

By Katherine Chow

Santa Clara University has decided on the official date  its current Novell GroupWise e-mail system will switch to Google Apps for Education: Dec. 14.

 Announced on Sept. 27 by Vice Provost Ronald Danielson, the application will be tested twice before the mass release to all students, faculty and staff.

Approximately 200 campus members and volunteers will later assess GAE during the second test session on a tentative date of Nov. 8. Some changes to the e-mail system will include four subdomains, all ending in "scu.edu." There will be 25 MB of mail storage and unlimited storage for Google Documents. All faculty, staff and students can expect e-mail functions, calendar, Google Documents, contact list, Google Drive with 5 GB of storage, Google Groups and Google Sites with this new application.
