Accessing Google Forms

Homework in CSE391 is submitted, and feedback returned, through Google Forms. To access these forms, you will need to activate and log in to your UW G Suite account. Follow the instructions below to access the forms.

Prerequisite - Activate G Suite account

Ensure your UW G Suite account has been activated by following the steps under "Activating UW G Suite" on this page. You do not need to opt in to using Gmail for your @uw email to activate your G Suite account.

Option 1 - Incognito window

Best for students with other G Suite/Google/Gmail accounts who do not want to deal with ensuring the correct account is active.

  1. Open the Form you are trying to access in an incognito/InPrivate window by right-clicking on the link and selecting "Open link in incognito window" (or a similar option).
  2. Enter your @uw email address in the Email field.
  3. You should be directed to a UW SSO login page. Enter your UW password.
  4. If login is successful, you will be redirected to the Google Form.

Option 2 - Add UW account to available Google accounts

Best for students who do not have another G Suite/Google/Gmail account or who do not want to have to log in each time.

  1. Open Google Drive (or any other Google App except Forms).
  2. Click on your initial or photo in the upper-right corner and click "Add account".
  3. Enter your @uw email address in the Email field.
  4. You should be directed to a UW SSO login page. Enter your UW password.
  5. If login is successful, you will be redirected to your UW Google Drive account. You should see the UW logo in the upper-right corner.
  6. Navigate to the Google Form you are trying to access. You should be able to view the Form.
  7. If you are still denied permission to the Form, return to Google Drive (or another Google App) and ensure your UW account is active. If it is not, select it by clicking on your initial or photo in the upper-right corner. Once you have confirmed your UW account is the active G Suite account, reload the Form.
  8. If you are still unable to access the Form, try Option 1 above.
