The GTU seeks to provide support to students to provide for equitable access to educational opportunities in the course of study. Here is information for accessing resources.
This section has been designed to provide GTU students with disabilities with ready access to the information and forms you may need.
GTU provides MA and PhD students with gmail accounts. Your GTU email address is an important communication link at the GTU. The GTU Dean of Students Office will use your gmail account to communicate with you about information you will not receive by any other medium. It is the primary way to notify you of upcoming events, policy and procedure changes, and other important information. It is important that you set up your account and check it regularly.
The registrar will create an email account for you hosted on Google Apps for Education. The Google system provides not only email, but additional services such as calendaring, chat, document storage and word processing applications. The account will be set up before you register and you will receive notice concerning how to log in and set it up at the email address you gave us when applying for admission. Your email address will be based on your first initial, last name, occasionally combined with a number in cases where there is a conflict with an existing address.
This account is your official school email address and as such will be used by GTU to contact you directly, as well as for important general announcements. You must check this account regularly, or, if you prefer, set the account up to forward all incoming email to another email address that is checked often. Please note that you must log in to the account directly at least once a year to insure that it is not suspended for lack of activity (this applies even if email is forwarded automatically to another account).
Once you complete your program you are welcome to continue using this service as long as you wish. The only requirement to do so is that you log in at least yearly.
Below you will find answers to some common questions on accessing your account. For further information please consult the extensive online help provided by Google.
Simply point your favorite web browser to the usual gmail login page (if you are logged in to your personal gmail.com address, please log out first):
https://mail.google.com
Enter your new email address as the login name and the password you were assigned. Generally, your username will be you first initial and last name, unless that was already in use, in which case a number will be appended after the first initial/last name. In other words, if you are John Smith, your user name would be jsmith unless Jane Smith preceded you in the system. If that is the case your address might be jsmith2, etc.
On first logging in you will be asked to change your password and accept the Google Terms of Service. Once you have completed setup, you will be presented with your inbox. If you are a gmail user, the inbox will be familiar to you. Navigation help is provided online should you need any assistance in using the system.
If you use a personal gmail account and would like further information concerning how to manage your multiple account logins, please see this link:
The GTU has wi-fi access in the Hewlett Building. Login and password information is available at the library reference desk.
Moodle is the online learning system used as a resource in GTU courses throughout the consortium.
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 requires that all institutions of higher education provide an emergency notification and warning system to alert their campus community in case of an emergency. Our system, called GTU-ALERTS, is available to faculty, staff, and students of the GTU and its Member Schools on an opt-in basis. In the event of an emergency, announcements will be sent out via text message, email and voice recording, as deemed necessary.
