1. Redeem Google Cloud Credit

Google will email a $50 credit code to your Cabrillo student address. You can redeem your code using your personal Google account.

Attention

You need a personal Google account for this class.

Access to Your Cabrillo Student Email

Your cloud credit will be mailed to your <studentid>@student.cabrillo.edu email address. Per Google’s policy it cannot be mailed anywhere else. You will need access to the account. Cabrillo students who are currently enrolled in at least one class have access to Cabrillo Google accounts, including Gmail and Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

Follow these steps to set-up your Cabrillo College Email account:

Attention

Have your WebAdvisor/Canvas/MyCabrillo password ready.

1. Go to the Google accounts login page. If you are already logged into a personal Google account, you will need to click your profile picture in the upper-right corner and choose “Add another account”

2. Log in to Google using your 7-digit student ID followed by @student.cabrillo.edu as your email. (for example 9090909@student.cabrillo.edu)

3. Click Next and then enter the same password as WebAdvisor, Canvas and MyCabrillo.

   Error

   You might need to reset your password on WebAdvisor. Passwords that are more than two years old won’t work.

4. Accept the terms of service, and you are done creating your Cabrillo Google account! You can now click the 9-dot waffle icon in the upper-right corner to access different apps, like Gmail.

Get Your Credit

On Canvas, there’s a link that takes you to a page where you can sign up for a credit. When you sign up for a credit you have to use your Cabrillo email address. Follow the process that I show in class.

Redeem Your Credit

The link that’s sent to your Cabrillo email will take you to Google Cloud Console where you can redeem your credit. Switch your Google account to a personal one. Do not redeem the credit using your Cabrillo account. Cabrillo accounts cannot create cloud resources.

Share Your Credit
