To log into your R-MC Google account

Every RMC member has a college-sponsored Google account. It is similar to a personal Google account but has more functionality. Some faculty and students may already be using Google Apps, such as GoogleDocs and YouTube for teaching and learning.

To log into your account, browse to https://www.google.com. 

• On the top right corner, select Sign In. If you are already signed into a personal Google account, click on the image in the top right corner and select “Add another account.”
• Type your RMC username and click “Next”. You will land on the RMC Single Sign-On (SSO) screen as below:

• Enter your R-MC username and password to sign in.

Once you are signed in, your first-name initial appears on the top right (see the red arrow). Click the waffle menu (next to your initial) to see the Apps, including Meet.

For RMC members, use RMC credentials to sign into Google account:

• Go to Google Meet.
• Click the blue button "New Meeting". From the drop-down list, select "Create a meeting for later".
