You can stop receiving emails from a group by either leaving or unsubscribing from the Group.

Some groups are “no-opt-out” for all faculty/staff and students. These groups include Campus News and Events, Chancellor's Messages, and Emergency Communications.

Unsubscribing and Leaving a Group

  1. Navigate to groups.google.com and make sure you are signed in to your App State account.


  2. Click on My groups.


  3. Click on the three-dot icon next to the group you want to unsubscribe to and then click Leave group.


  4. You will be asked to confirm that you want to leave the group. Click the button that says Yes, leave group.

To leave a group and stop getting emails from it, you can send an email to group name+unsubscribe@group domain. For example, to leave the group mygroup@googlegroups.com, you would send a message to mygroup+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com. You can send the request with no subject or body text.
