Instructions for specific devices are below.

Before you begin

The Terms of Service for using Google Apps is only available on the web, so before you set the account up on a mobile device, you will need to access your Drew Google account on the web. You only need to do this once, so if you've already logged in to your Google Apps account, you do not need to repeat this step.

7. Make sure your Mail, Contacts and Calendars are all turned on. Then click Save.

Android: 

(most Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola smartphones, Android tablets)

Android phones have native support for Google Services built in.  To configure your Android device, follow the instructions at Google Support.  You can have multiple Google accounts on your phone and it will show contacts and calendars for all of them (calendars from different accounts have different colors by default).  Most other Google apps on the device allow you to switch which account is active or switch between accounts interactively.

...

5. Enter your Drew email address and either your uLogin password or, if you have enrolled in the Duo Two-Factor Authentication service, your device password.  

  • Double check that your email address ends in "@drew.edu"
  • Google will point out that you are agreeing to the Google Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Google Play Terms of Service. They also give you the option to be kept up to date with news and offers from Google Play. If you do not want these emails, be sure to uncheck the box before touching OK.
  • Faculty/staff users: See "Google Apps Device Policy" below for additional steps.

6. You may receive a screen offering to configure Google Play Store or "Set up payment info". You can select "Not now" here.


7.  Your phone will work for a moment, and if successful will show that what information is configured to sync to your phone.

  • If you do not want all of these things to sync, you can remove the check from the appropriate boxes. Please be careful if choosing to remove sync for some of these.

Google Apps Device Policy

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.
