All students must have access to a Gmail account.

We will centralize all of our teamwork in the GIN Student Admin Team Class: Workbooks, Submission Forms, and Materials Folder and share files by using Google Drive and G Suite.

If you do not have a Gmail account, please create one so that we can easily share all materials, resources, exemplars, and tools. This will enable you to easily contribute and communicate with the rest of your team. We do this to ensure easy access to information and strong communication between team members.

We also highly encourage you to download and use Slack to facilitate prompt communication but we understand if this is not possible due to governmental restrictions. 

All students are expected to check Gmail and Slack as the primary communication method for announcements and assignments. We expect students to respond to messages sent via Gmail and Slack within 48 hours. If we do not hear from you within 48 hours of a message being sent, we will send an email addressed to you and cc your GIN Mentor on it asking for a response to the initial message. Then, if we do not receive an answer from your mentor within 96 hours, we will send an email to you and cc your GIN mentor either asking you to step down or putting you on probation depending on the number of previously issued warnings to you.
