Modified on: Wed, 25 Oct 2023 8:53 AM

Introduction

This article covers the recommended and supported methods for accessing your UAlberta Gmail, Calendar, and other Google applications.


Applicability

This article applies to all University of Alberta email users. 


Details

For the best experience it is recommended to access your UAlberta Gmail and other Google applications from their respective web pages with a modern and supported web browser (Chrome, Edge, or Safari). UAlberta Google core web apps are fully supported by Information Services and Technology (IST) and issues can be escalated to Google’s Enterprise support if needed.

  Other Considerations

Accessing from a mobile device

To access your email and calendar from a mobile device (smartphones, tablets), it is recommended to use the official Gmail and Calendar app from Google which can be downloaded directly from your app store. The Gmail and Calendar mobile apps are a fully featured application and are supported by IST and Google Support. Get the apps on your mobile devices (Android/iOS)

TIP! You can also access Google Chat and Google Meet from within the Gmail mobile app. There are many other mobile apps available from Google including Tasks, Docs, Sheets, and more!

Using 3rd party applications/email clients

Should you choose to use a 3rd party application to access your UAlberta Google account or apps, it is important to understand that support is only available through the specific vendor’s help centers and this is not supported by IST or Google Support.
