   2. Go to mail.google.com

   3. Enter their school issued Google Email address
      The format for the email address is studentfirstname.studentlastname@students.myncca.com.

      There are no hyphens, spaces, accents, or special punctuation in students emails. If a student has the same name as another student who is currently enrolled, the year of birth is added to the end of the last name. 

   4. Password for first time logins is a students date of birth in the format m/d/yyyy with no leading zeroes on the month or day and a four digit year.
