For Career Connect staff and instructors. Students can add their home district or college Google account to a KRESA Chromebook. If they get an error, send us the full email address and we will approve that domain.
Sign in to the Chromebook with the KRESA student account, as usual.
Open a Google app such as Docs, Slides, Drive, or Gmail.
Click the profile picture in the top right corner, then click Add another account. Some screens say Manage accounts, then Add account.
Type the full email address, click Next, then enter the password for that account.
To switch accounts, click the profile picture again and pick the account you need.
Another way: select the time in the bottom right corner, then Settings > Accounts > Add Google Account.
The KRESA account stays primary. The second account is added after signing in, not at the Chromebook login screen.
KRESA: kresa.org, students.kresa.org
Partner districts: portageps.org, kalamazoopublicschools.net, vicksburgschools.org, comstockps.org, gulllakecs.org, garams.org, parchmentschools.org, schoolcraftcs.org, csschools.net
Programs and colleges: kamsc.org, kamsc.k12.mi.us, kvcc.edu, mail.kvcc.edu
Personal Gmail accounts are not approved and will not be added.
The student sees a message that the account cannot be added because the domain is not allowed.
Ask the student to read you the entire email address, including everything after the @ sign.
Check the spelling. student. and students. are different domains, and so are .org, .net, and .k12.mi.us.
Submit a ticket at support.swmitech.org with the full email address, the building or program, and how many students are affected.
We add the domain to the approved list, usually the same business day, and reply on the ticket.
The student signs out of the Chromebook, signs back in, and tries again. The change can take a few minutes to reach the device.
If it still fails, reply on the same ticket instead of opening a new one.
No. Students sign in with their KRESA account first, then add the district or college account inside Google apps.
No. Personal Gmail accounts are not approved, to protect student data.
Districts sometimes change the domain they use for student accounts. Send the full email address in a ticket and we will check it.
Staff devices use a separate policy. Submit a ticket and note that it is a staff device.
Submit a ticket at support.swmitech.org with the full email address and the building or program.
