Stop Receiving Emails from a Google Group

You can stop receiving emails from a group by either leaving/unsubscribing from the group, or changing your settings. If you unsubscribe from a group, you'll no longer be a member, you'll stop receiving emails, and you’ll no longer be able to view group messages. If you'd like to stay a member, but stop receiving emails, you can change your email settings.

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.
