Setting up for Google access

Gaining Web Access - This will get you full access to all resources and register your email in three easy steps

• 1. Create a google account if you don't already have one

  2. Log in to the google account 

  3. Request access to the group via the group's web page

1. Create a google account (using existing or creating a new email account): 

• • Go to google.com, and click on 'Sign In' in the upper right

  • On Sign In page, click on 'Create Account' at the bottom

  • Enter first and last name

  • At this point you can either create a new gmail account, or click on 'Use my current email address instead' to enter your current email. This will send a confirmation to that email just to ensure that you really own that email address.

  • Create a password (note the instructions of 8 characters, mixing letters numbers and symbols) 

  • Click next - it'll prompt for a phone number. This will receive a text message that you'll need to enter for confirmation. You can remove the number in the next step

  • It'll prompt for some basic info (gender, birthday). These aren't critical.

  • Privacy terms will need to be accepted

2. Log in to google account

• • If you just created an account, you'll be automatically logged in. Otherwise go to google.com and 'Sign In'

3. Request access to GLHOA

• • Click on the 'Google Group' button at the top of this page

  • Click on 'Apply for membership'

  • Add relevant info in the box such as your address and phone number. 

  • Click on 'Apply to join this group'. This will send an email to the GLHOASecretary to approve the application, so you may not be 'in' the group for another 24 hours
