Submit it and then follow any prompts.

5. Log in to your TCEO Google account and access your email

Open up a new browser tab and navigate to mail.catholic.tas.edu.au via the address bar. You will be automatically redirected to your new Inbox.

If that didn't work, go to mail.google.com and follow the prompts to log in.

Welcome to your new TCEO Google account!
