Requesting and managing a Group ID account

Group IDs are shared Wayne Connect accounts used by departments or student organizations to manage email, calendars, and group communications. A Group ID is a shared Wayne Stat email account used by a group of people in one department and/or unit.

• Group access to a shared email address (e.g., yourdepartment@wayne.edu)
• Multiple employees access to a departmental calendar
• Ability to send bulk email announcements about university events to pre-selected groups

Eligibility and requirements

Group IDs are only available to full-time employees with management authorization and to approved student organizations. Student organization registered presidents or officers must make the request and obtain approval from the Dean of Students Office (DOSO). Groups not recognized by DOSO may be approved by advisors or faculty members.

You must be an active Registered Student Organization with the Dean of Students Office, and the request must come from the president of your organization. Please use getinvolved@wayne.edu in the Sponsor's Email field of the request form to notify DOSO about your request for approval.

Request a Group ID

If your office or organization requires a Group ID, please submit a Group ID request form. Please read the full instructions on the form to make sure you understand the policies and regulations associated with a Group ID.

Responsibilities for managing a Group ID

The employee who requests a Group ID is responsible for the use and maintenance of the account. This employee is the only one who may request password changes or changes to contact information.

If the employee leaves their position, that person should inform the C&IT Help Desk so ownership of the Group ID account(s) may be transferred to another individual.
