If your instructor is using G Suite as part of the instructional environment for your class, you can login to the UC San Diego instance of Google Apps at gapps.ucsd.edu using your UC San Diego-assigned (user@ucsd.edu) username and password.
IT Services enhanced security for student Gmail and G Suite accounts by transitioning to UC San Diego’s single sign-on (SSO) platform including two-step login procedures. Visit twostep.ucsd.edu to register for two-step login and secure your account.
Logging into Gmail via SSO and two-step login adds an extra element of account security. Benefits include:
The change affects the login only. After entering your username like normal, you’ll be automatically transferred to our SSO platform to complete your login. Note that Google’s built-in 2-Step Verification will be disabled for those currently using it for UC San Diego accounts. Everything else about using campus Gmail and G Suite apps remains the same.
If you still have questions or need additional assistance, please submit a ticket or call the ITS Service Desk at (858) 246-4357
