First Time Use - Setup Screen

We've tried to make the Google provided services work as seamlessly as possible.  So your Dominican User ID and password are what you use to log in, just like when you log into http://my.dominican.edu and the online library database when you are off campus.

Here is some information on what happens the first time you use your Domincan provided Google services:

1. Login via http://mail.students.dominican.edu
   
2. When you log into email, for example, you will be presented with a login screen that prompts for your Username and Password.  Simply enter your Dominican user ID and password.
   
3. The first time you access your services you will be presented with a setup screen as shown below.  Here you specify your default language and agree to the terms of service.  You also have to enter a validation code that is shown on the screen.  Simply enter that value, agree to the terms of use by clicking I ACCEPT, CREATE MY ACCOUNT.
   
   

   

   
   
   
4. You will now have access to your Google services.
