G Suite for education

---

As an employee of Maricopa Community Colleges, you have access to the Google suite of tools designed to empower educators and students as they learn and innovate together. The CTLA is here to help you learn how to use the G Suite tools in creative ways to maximize efficiency, collaboration, and student engagement.

Helpful Tip: If you come across a Google Sign in page, like the one below, just type in your yourmeid@cgc.edu (Where your MEID is actually your MEID) to be taken to Maricopa's email sign on.
