To create a UIC Google account follow this process:

  • Click on the Log in button and use your NetID and password to access the account application
  • From the options, select the Google Apps @ UIC 
  • Click on the Create account button to activate you account
You will need this account in order to login to any of the Google Workspace apps. To start, use your UIC email account (NetID@uic.edu) to access Google Drive at gdrive.uic.edu. 
 
If you have a personal Google account, you will be able to add your UIC account (learn how to switch between multiple Google accounts). For more information about Google Workspace and the apps, visit Google's documentation available at workspace.google.com.
 
NOTE: Please notice that the UIC Gmail account is the official account for students, but it is not the official account for staff to conduct university business.
