Your Google account

Follow the instructions below to access your Google account, then find out more about the benefits of Google, some of the important terms and conditions and how to get help.

Already have a computer account?

If you already have a computer username (e.g. cam12345) and password, click on one of the Google links on the homepage of the student website and log in with the same username and password. Once you?ve logged in to one of the Google applications you can go into any of the others at the top left of your screen.

Don't have a computer account?

Go to www.port.ac.uk/studentaccount and follow the instructions to obtain your computer username and password. This will allow you to log in to many University systems, including Google.

Once you have your username and password, click on one of the Google links on the homepage of the student website and log in with the same username and password. Once you?ve logged in to one of the Google applications you can go into any of the others using the links at the top left of the screen.

Your email address

Your main email address will be automatically allocated based on your name, for example firstname.surname@myport.ac.uk. Duplicate names will have a number at the end. You will see this email address once you've accessed your Google Mail account.

You will also have other email addresses based on student references, for example cam12345@port.ac.uk or studentref@jupiter.port.ac.uk. These are mainly for staff to use when emailing you as they are held in central record systems. You will receive emails from all these addresses automatically into your Google Mail inbox.
