Google Workspace

Wake Forest is a Google Workspace for Education Plus school, which means that our campus community has access to an integrated suite of secure, cloud-native collaboration and productivity apps powered by Google AI. These tools and features help the campus community realize the value of collaborating with each other and sharing useful information.

The Google Workspace application suite provides access to powerful tools to enhance academic and professional success, including:

Google Calendar: plan meetings with colleagues in this scheduler, the preferred choice for faculty and staff

Google Classroom: utilize as an additional tool for creating courses and assessments

Google Docs: create, edit, and share documents, collaborating in real time and saving to the cloud

Google Drive: store, organize, open, and edit your files securely all from one place

Gmail: access your Wake Forest email while staying connected with Chat and Rooms or with Contacts in your side panel

Google Groups: create a discussion group and manage members

Google Meet: schedule, host, and join video calls from Gmail or Calendar, without having to download a desktop app

Google Sites: create websites using an easy drag and drop functionality and a collaborative editing platform

Check out Google’s support site to explore more features.

In addition to these applications, our account supports:

• Cloud search: quickly find what you need by searching your files and across Wake Forest’s content in Google Workspace. 
• Unlimited originality reports: help students properly cite sources, and help professors find plagiarism, in Assignments, which can integrate with Canvas!
