Google Apps for Education

Canisius University provides all students, and participating Faculty and Staff a Google Apps toolset.  This powerful collection of resources is ideal for cloud based storage and collaboration, document creation, group projects, and easy communication over the web.  It has additional features unavailable to free, private "consumer" Google Apps accounts.

Google Apps for Education includes augmented versions of Gmail, the Google Docs suite, and cloud storage via Google Drive for all students of the University. 

For faculty and staff, many Google Apps for Education tools are available that work with their existing Exchange email and calendar accounts, accessible through Outlook.  Like students, Faculty and Staff then have limited storage via Google Drive, the Google Docs suite, and campus-specific sharing options (including with students).  

For University business, we recommend students, faculty, and staff use Canisius Google Apps storage and accounts.  Please do not use personal consumer-grade Google Drive to store files related to teaching or administrative work at the University.

We have specific spaces with tutorials, tips, and other resources to help Canisius users get the most out of Google Apps for Education:
