This article will show you how to access all of the SOU Google Apps on the web.

Step 1 - Log in to your email account

The easiest way to get to all of SOU Google Apps is by accessing your SOU Gmail account first.

Login to Inside.sou.edu and then look for the Email link at the top of the page.

Picture of the Inside SOU page which has many tabs available to click. It starts with an Inside tab, then Email, Directory, Class Schedule, Moodle, and finally an SOU Map. The Email tab is highlighted with a red circle.

Step 2 - Open the Google App you want to use from the apps menu

Look for the apps menu icon in the top-right region of your Gmail screen.

Note

It is a 3-by-3 square made up of dots located just to the left of your profile icon that includes the Southern Oregon University logo.

After you click on the app menu icon, you can select the Google App you wish to open.

It should launch in another browser tab.

Note

If you do not see an app that you are looking for, try scrolling down through the list.

Picture of the apps icon, which that icon is a grid icon or has the 3x3 matrix of dots listed at the top left of the screen next to a question mark icon and the profile picture icon. In the image this icon has already been selected and is grayed out because of it. There is a dropdown menu below it with different icons corresponding to different google apps to select.
