How do I use Gmail?

Google has provided a demo of the Gmail system with clear instructions and explanations of all the included features.

How do I access student email?

FTCC’s student email system is a college created Gmail account that is available from any place that you have access to the Internet and a web browser. The Gmail app is also available for mobile devices in the Google Play and Apple App Store.

What's my password?

The format of the default password for student email accounts is 8 characters which is a Gmail standard. If you’ve submitted a password reset form, your password will be set to your 8 character date of birth. Example: March 15 1980 would be keyed as 03151980.

How can my password be reset?

If you are new to FTCC and are unable to make it to the campus, you can use the online password reset tool to get started with the single login system.

The password reset link is also found in the footer of each page on the FTCC website.
