Google Groups can be found in my.torontomu.ca, under "Apps".
Start by requesting your course shell, if you haven't already done so. Whether the students will be added right away will depend on the timing - and whether the course section appears in your list on MyServiceHub.
If the course section does appear in your list on MyServiceHub
When completing the shell request, you will be able to specify the course-section and any enrolled students will be added right away.
If the course section doesn't appear in your list on MyServiceHub yet
When completing the shell request, you will only be able to identify the course code for the purpose of properly naming the course shell. You won't be able to identify the student section(s) yet - and so the students won't be added.
You will have to use the Self Service tools to connect the student section to the shell once it appears in your MyServiceHub list.
If your course shell has already been requested, you should have received a confirmation email with the "shell code".
If the shell code is abc123_w22_01, the Google Group address is abc123_w22_01@torontomu.ca. Use this address to email your Google Group members and share resources in Google Drive.
You can also go to Google Groups directly and find your group.
Google Groups created as a part of a shell request will expire at the same time as the shell.
Course-based Google Groups are active for the terms the course is running. If you indicated that your course will span two terms, when requesting your shell, it will be active for both terms.
You can confirm the End Date for your shell by going to the Manage Shell Self Service tool in my.torontomu.ca.
