The idea is good on theory; actually it was my incentive to adopt Google Apps in my high-school. But the IT ecosystem of AUBG is far too complex to allow such plug'n'play functionality. Google Apps does not support authentication against the university's Active Directory. Someone would have to implement a bridge between Google and the university's Windows server via a largely proprietary Application Programming Interface. The OCC won't do it - they are neither paid for this, nor qualified enough. Then who, a COS Senior Project hackjob? Please.
At this moment the demand for Google Apps is an unreasonable one. Instead of clamoring for Google, the SG would better press the OCC to implement roaming accounts, so that preferences from one computer follow you to the next, and enable IMAP support for the mail server - then we won't have to deal with web access at all.
