Access Google Workspace for Education

Google Workspace for Education is a web-based application, so you will always access your University email and calendar through an Internet browser. You will use the same process to access your University email whether you are on or off campus, on a University computer, a personal computer, or a mobile device. Information technology recommends using Google Chrome for your browser as some Google Workspace for Education features ONLY work in Google Chrome.

Google Workspace for Education

You will find the Google Workspace for Education landing page at cedarville.edu/google. Your username and password will not work if you try to log in through Gmail.

You can use the Google Mail shortcut, gmail.cedarville.edu, to log directly into your University email or the Google Calendar shortcut, calendar.cedarville.edu, to log directly into your University calendar.

When Google Mail Logs You into the Wrong Gmail Account

If you try logging into your University Google Mail account and are sent to a personal Gmail account instead, follow these instructions:

  1. In the upper right corner of your screen, find the blue avatar (or your profile picture), left-click on it and choose sign out
  2. You should arrive at a screen that has your personal Gmail account and your University Google account listed. Choose your University Google account from the list.
  3. You will then be redirected to the University Google login screen, where you can enter your CedarNet credentials (Cedarville University email and password).
