4.1 Getting Started – Logging Into Your Berwick College Google Account

Every staff member at Berwick College has a new email address eg. dhughes@berwickcollege.vic.edu.au.  The prefix to the email is your first initial plus your last name @berwickcollege.vic.edu.au.

This email address is tied directly to your college login (eg. HUG) that you use to access the network and your computer/s. Changing this password will link your credentials to your new Google Drive account to be used with the iPad program.  It will also change your login password for your Berwick College network.

To access Google Drive you must change this password. From then on, you will log into Google Drive and onto the school network with the same username and password, however you use the email (eg. dhughes@berwickcollege.vic.edu.au) as your username instead of your three letter initials (eg. HUG).

1a. Changing Password – Option 1 – Windows Computers ONLY
