Overview of P Drive to Google Drive
StandardMany of you have already set up Google Drive and are using it in your courses. All students will set up Google Drive this week during GAP time, so if you have not setup your own Google Drive watch your students so you have a little prior knowledge about the process.
When you are ready to setup your Google Drive please follow these instructions either on your own or ask us for help. Starting in October your P drive will no longer be available.
