Why can't I log into my RMC Google account? Every time I try, the browser takes me to my personal Google account.
Answer
Many people on our campus have personal Google/Gmail accounts before they come to RMC. While at RMC you have access to a college provided Google account; this is what you can use to store large files and share them in Canvas. If you're having problems submitting/uploading it is probably because you're still signed into your personal Google account. There are two ways to remedy this:
- Add your RMC Google account to your browser.
- Navigate to Google.com
- In the farthest upper right corner you will see that you're signed in with your personal account.
- Click on the round image/button and select "Add another account"
- Follow the steps by using your name @go.rmc.edu or @rmc.edu account. Once completed, you can easily switch between accounts.
- Use another browser other than your current one. If you're using a Mac, try downloading Chrome or Firefox. This will allow you to stay signed into your personal Google account in Safari.
- Conversely you can continue using your current browser, but open a private or incognito window. This will forget you are signed in to another account, and when you close the window, will forget you ever were:
- If you're using Safari, go to File > New Private Window
- If you're using Chrome, click on the three dots in the upper right corner and select "New incognito window"
- If you're using Firefox, click on the three lines in the upper right corner and select "New Private Window"
