    Adding your Drew account as a Google account

    Although the University recommends using the Exchange account type for the reasons listed above, we realize some people prefer to add their account as a Google account. For those individuals, we provide these instructions. Some people may notice that they won't have access to Drew's global contact list in older versions of iOS (this means you will see auto-fill work for people you have emailed in the past, but possibly not for Drewids you've never emailed before).

    Warning
    Please note: Some people prefer to use the Gmail app. We have seen recently that some people are unable to add their Drew account directly in the Gmail app. However, following the steps below to add your Google account in Settings on your device will work in iOS 11 and earlier. You can then choose to use the native Mail app, or you can return to the Gmail app and add your Drew account successfully. If you are running iOS 12, you should follow the directions below to add your Drew account as an Exchange account.


    1. Go To the "Settings" app on your phone or iPad.
    2. Select "Mail, Contacts, Calendars". In iOS 11, select "Accounts & Passwords".
      or
    3. Select "Add Account".
    4. Select "Google".
    5. Enter your Drew email address. Click Next.
    6. Enter your Drew username and password. Choose Login. If you are using Duo Security, approve the login the way you normally would on a computer browser.
    7. If you wish to turn a specific feature off, touch the button to the right of that feature. When satisfied, choose Save in the top right.
    8. You should now see a Gmail account in the Accounts list.

    Google Apps Device Policy

    Expand

    Faculty/staff users:  Under our new policy on the responsible handling of University data, Android users who connect their Drew account to their device are required to install and configure the Google Apps Device Policy app for their device.  This will allow Drew to lock or wipe the device in the event that it is lost or stolen, and will allow Drew to protect sensitive University data that might be available in Gmail, Drive, or stored on the device.

    Open the app after installing, and click Next.

    Select Activate to activate the Device Policy app to manage your device.

    Click on Enforce to enable the policy for your device.

    You will see your device properly managed and synced once this is complete.  You can now exit the app (and return to step 7 above if you were just setting up your account).

    In the event your device is lost or stolen, you can go to https://www.google.com/apps/mydevices/ to locate the device on a map, activate an alarm, remotely lock the device, or remotely wipe it.  University University Technology can also wipe the device remotely if desired.

    For the below devices, University Technology recommends connecting to Google Apps with Google Sync support. This support provides connectivity to Google Apps as if it were a Microsoft Exchange server.  As such, you will use the following settings:

    Username:  yourusername@drew.edu

    Password:  your uLogin password
    If you have enrolled in the Duo Two-Factor Authentication service, use your Device Password (found at drew.edu/duo) instead.
