How to set up a Google Account

You’ll need a Google account to access the Google Apps.  Below are step-by-step instructions on how set one up.

1. Go to the Google account set up page.
2. Fill in the form with your details:
   • name
   • your new email address (username+@gmail.com)
   • password
   • your birthday
   • gender
   • phone number (security code may get sent to here)
   • your current email address (in case you need to reset your password)

The last part is an anti-spam check, so just type in the numbers you see in the picture.

3. Then click “Next step”.

4. You’ll be asked to agree to Google’s Terms of Service.  Just click “I Agree”:

You’ll then be presented with a welcome screen confirming your account has been set up.  Easy peasy! 🙂
