Google G Suite

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

There really is only one thing you must do - activate your MySWC account. Once your account is created, your G Suite 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!

No! There currently is no limit to the number of files you can save or the amount of Google Drive space you can use - it is unlimited!

Google Docs is similar to Microsoft Word, a word processing application. This app allows you to write class assignments, letters, resumes, notes, and much more from virtually anywhere. All of your documents are saved to your Google Drive for future access or download.

Google Sheets is similar to Microsoft Excel - you can use formulas and such to perform financial transactions. All of your Google Sheets files are saved to your Google Drive.

Google Calendar allows you to keep track of your schedule. What's really great is - your scheduled appointments will show up in the "My Schedule" section of the MySWC Portal! Your appointments are saved in the Google cloud.

With Google Contacts, you can have access to all of your friends' and family's phone numbers, email addresses, and birthdates. Your contacts are saved in the Google cloud.

Google Forms allows you to create forms that can be used to collect information from others.

Google Hangouts is a video/audio calling and messaging application that allows you to communicate with other G Suite users in real time.

Google Slides is like Microsoft PowerPoint, allowing you to make awesome presentations right from your web browser - any browser worldwide. All of your Google Slides files are saved to your Google Drive.
