(4) Setting up a gmail account…
Go to the College website at www.barkingdagenhamcollege.ac.uk and click on ‘e-campus’
Now click on ‘eMail’:
Your login is your College student ID number, and your password is the first 6 letters of your surname in
capital letters. (If your surname is less than 6 letters long, make it up to 6 letters with X, e.g. KHANXX). If
you are using Internet Explorer (not Firefox or Chrome), you will need to put center\ in front of your login.
Example:
You will automatically be set up with a college gmail account. The first time you click on the +You menu,
Google will ask you to set up your profile. After doing this, you can find the hangout.
