To enroll online, you will need an email address. If you do not have an email address, please use these instructions to create a free email account with Google.
Step 1: Open up your internet browser and go to the Google Home page: http://www.google.com
Step 2: Click on Gmail at the top right corner of the page
Step 3: From the Gmail home page click on either of the “Create an account” buttons.
Step 4: To set up your new account, Google needs some information about you – first, your first and last names. The ‘username’ field is the unique email address that you wish to use, which will be placed before ‘@gmail.com’. Because it needs to be unique, Google may have to check the availability of any name that you decide on to make sure that no one already has it. Type an email name into the ‘username’ box and then fill out the rest of your information. Then click Next.
Step 5: Enter your current phone number. If your phone number does not accept text messages (SMS), there is a call option to receive the 6-digit verification code.
Step 6: Google will send you a text message that includes a 6-digit verification code. Enter this into the ‘Enter Verification Code’ section. Do not include the G- as it’s already included for you. If your phone number does not receive text messages select the ‘Call Instead’ option at the bottom. Once the verification code has been entered click on Verify.
Step 7: You can choose to provide an alternative phone number or email address for security and account recovery purposes. Complete the birthday and gender fields then click Next.
Step 8: Review the Privacy and Terms policy by scrolling down to the bottom, then click on I agree.
Step 9: The system will then open up your new gmail account with a popup that can walk you through various features in the system. For more assistance with using and navigating your new gmail email account, please go to the G Suite Learning Center for Gmail.
