You can access your Gmail account anywhere in the world from mail.google.com, by installing the Gmail app on your Android or iOS device and logging in with your college credentials or by adding your college account to the default mail app on your mobile device.
If you use the default mail app on your phone, when you add an account it will ask you what type of account. Simply select Gmail then follow the steps to add your account on. You will most likely only need to set it up using your college email address and password.
If you do stumble across any issues, please don’t hesitate to pop in and see us.

What is my college email address?
What is my college email address?
Email addresses are in the form: username@barton.ac.uk.
So a typical student email address will be like 23aa1234@barton.ac.uk or 24bb1234@barton.ac.uk.
How do I email a member of staff?
How do I email a member of staff?
Staff usernames are three characters. So Natalie Rushman could be NPR and Steven Rogers SIR. The best bet would be to start typing the person’s full name in the recipient’s box and the auto-suggestion will show you some similar names.
The middle character is normally picked at random and doesn’t always reference a middle name.
So a typical staff email address will be like npr@barton.ac.uk or sir@barton.ac.uk.
How can I find a users’ email address?
How can I find a users’ email address?
All members of the college community are in the same address book. Gmail will look up the address for you, just start typing the name. Student surnames are in capitals and staff surnames have only the first letter as capitals. If nothing appears when you type, click the ‘To’ text to open the full address book.
These would be students: Bruce WAYNE, Richard GRAYSON, Selina KYLE
And these would be staff: Anthony Stark, Natalie Rushman, Steven Rogers
You only need to know a users’ name to send a message; the system will look it up in the address book. BUT BE CAREFUL there will be some people with the same names in the address book; make sure to get the correct one!! You will need to use the first name and last name to find the user.
Selina KYLE is correct, KYLE Selina is incorrect.
