Google Workspace

Providing these apps allows you to function in our modern world without spending any money for the technology. For example, Google Docs is a word processing application, similar to Microsoft Word, that you can use to write a job resume and Google Sheets is similar to Microsoft Excel that can help you prepare a monthly budget.

All registered students have a Google Workspace account. All currently employed staff and faculty also have access to Google Workspace. If/when you are no longer a student or employee, you will no longer be able to access Google Workspace.

There really is only one thing you must do - activate your MySWC account. Once your account is created, your Google Workspace account will be activated at the same time. You will use your MySWC username and password to login.

Think of Google Drive as a virtual USB thumb drive, without the need of plugging anything into a computer, giving you access to any of your Google Drive files anytime you need them, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For example, you could be out with your friends when you meet a potential employer who asks for your resume - you would be able to send your resume immediately!

A storage limit of 5 Gigabytes (GB) will apply to your account after 12/31/2022
