  2. Tap the Search tab.

  3. In the Search field, search for "Gmail" and tap the Gmail result. You can also tap this App Store link on your device.

  4. Next to Gmail, tap the Get button or the download from the cloud button (if you've downloaded the app before).

  5. Gmail will be installed on your device.

  6. (Optional) If configuring your NCSSM calendar on your device, repeat steps 2-5 to download Google Calendar, or use this App Store link for that app, too.

  7. Tap the Gmail app on your home screen.

  8. Tap the Sign In button on the bottom-left.

  9. If you have already configured your NCSSM Google account in another app, it should already appear and can be selected now. If you do not see it, tap Add account.

  10. When prompted to enter your email address, enter YourUsername@ncssm.edu and tap Next.

  11. You will be prompted for your NCSSM password. Once filled out, tap the Next button.
