Gmail v.s. Google Suite for Education

While our Google Suite for Education (GS4E) system is hosted by Google and includes Gmail and Google apps, it is completely separate and independent from other Google accounts you may have.

You can have both a regular Gmail account and a South Seattle College campus student email and apps (GS4E) account. You can even be logged into both simultaneously and easily "switch" toggle between your two accounts!

For a detailed explanation on differences between a Google Account and Google Suite please read this.

Do people at Google or South know my @SouthSeattle.edu (GS4E) password?

Absolutely NOT. Google has an encrypted hash created from your password. Google's Recommended Security Checklist

Is my @SouthSeattle.edu (GS4E) Account Ever Deleted?

South Seattle College (SSC) Google Suite for Education (GS4E) accounts are never deleted without the owner's consent.

Since 2007, Google has provided educational institutions massive amounts of free educational tools. Including unlimited DRIVE space. No accounts are deleted unless requested by the owner of the account.

Nope - South Seattle College Google Suite for Education (GS4E) accounts are NOT related to any other campus accounts. GS4E accounts reside on Google servers, only. These are separate systems that bear similar login and password structure, only.
