Creating a Google Account


You can choose to create a new Gmail e-mail address or simply use any existing e-mail address as your username. If you choose an existing e-mail address, You will need to be able to access it so that you can verify that it belongs to you.

You will also need access to a phone as Google will send a text message to a phone number that you provide as another way to verify your account. Don't worry if you only have a landline - you can still receive a text message, it will be read out by an automated system when you pick up the phone. If this doesn't work, there is also an option to be called instead of being sent a text message.

Click here and follow the instructions as they appear on each page to set up your account. Once your account is activated, scroll back up this page or click here for instructions on adding your classes to the calendar.
