New email and calendar project

Introduction

Following overwhelming staff and student requests, the University established a project to replace our current email and calendar systems with the aim to provide a number of benefits, including an integrated email and calendar system.

Following considerable research and consultation, a business case  was approved to adopt Google Apps for Education. Currently Google has been provided to all undergraduate and taught postgraduate students.

Staff and Postgraduate Research students move to Google!

Gmail and Google Drive is now available to the majority of of staff and PGR students.

We will be launching Google calendar to all staff and PGR students on Monday April 15th.
