G Suite is the collective name for a group of Google apps such as Gmail, Docs, Drive and Calendar available to the university.

 

Note: 

This article provides a general overview of both core and public services.  For more information on specific apps available through G Suite, see the UConn Email website.

Core Services

Core services are apps covered under the University – Google enterprise agreement.  Core services include Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Hangout, Google Sites, and Google Groups.

 

Public Services

Public services fall outside of the University – Google enterprise agreement and require users to agree directly with Google’s terms of use. Users must opt-in to gain access to public services. The public services content will be a dynamic list as Google offers new products and expires old services.  Some examples of current public services are Google+, Picasa Web Albums, Google Analytics, Blogger, YouTube, Google News, Google Places, etc.
