Google Workspace

Last Updated: 12/04/2020

How do I log into my Google Workspace account?

To access Google Workspace you must use a combination of your CULoginName @colorado.edu and IdentiKey password at https://accounts.google.com/ or any core Google Workspace login page.

Although Google asks for your “Email”, the system cannot support the use of your first.last @colorado.edu as a username. Instead, use your Identikey CULoginName (e.g. buff1234 @colorado.edu) to log into the service. Once you are in the system you can use your preferred email address (usually first.last @colorado.edu) to share resources.

*Note: If you have separate Google Account logged in, you may need to click the Choose Account arrow icon, in order to sign in with your @colorado.edu account.

What core applications do I receive?

Faculty, Staff, Students, Retirees, Alumni and Persons of interest all receive the following Google Workspace applications:

Gmail
Contacts
Calendar
Groups
Drive & Drive File Stream
Docs
Sheets
Slides
Forms
Sites

Note: Email accounts for faculty and staff default to Microsoft Exchange, but are now able to choose Gmail as their primary university email account.

Additional Applications
