Are there Google Groups that I can not leave?

Yes, there are a number of “Official” Google Groups where membership is deemed essential for communication from College officials. Included in this list is any group that starts with the word “official”, as well as the class year groups and residence hall groups. Group membership in these groups is automatically assigned based on the individual’s role with the College. When viewing the “Membership Settings” page for one of these groups, the “Leave Group” button will be greyed out.
