Google Workspace Account FAQ
Q. Does this mean we are moving to Gmail?
A. No. Since the campus uses Outlook and Office 365, Gmail is not available for EWU Google Workspace accounts.
Q. Who is eligible for a Google Workspace Account?
A. Current faculty, staff, and students are automatically provided a Workspace account.
Q. What Workspace services are available?
A. With a few exceptions, the full suite of Workspace services (Drive/Docs, Apps Script, Keep, Sites, Google Chat, Google Meet, Google Groups) are available. Most commercial Google services such as YouTube and Maps are also available, but note that they are governed by Google's regular terms of service. Google Calendar isn't available because it does not work correctly with Office 365 email accounts. Google Voice is a paid service and no longer free.
