GroupWise Enterprise Email

Email is the primary means of official communication on the Drew campus.  Drew's email client is GroupWise - a powerful program containing a number of sophisticated features that will be useful in communicating and meeting with other members of the Drew community.

You are expected to check your Drew email account at least once per day.  Your professors will use GroupWise to contact you using GroupWise, so it is best for you to familiarize yourself with the program, which is pre-installed on your Drew laptop.  For students who do not have a Drew computer, please see the section, GroupWise for Remote Users.

Below is a list of all the documentation available online for GroupWise.  You do not need to know all of this for DONUT; only links with an asterisk (*) are required knowledge for the DONUT curriculum.  Other information is posted here for your convenience, so that you will know where to come to find out more.
