There are two ways to connect to your Swarthmore Gmail account on your Apple iOS device.     

Gmail and Google Calendar apps for iOS

We strongly recommend downloading and using the Gmail and Google Calendar apps from the AppStore. These apps are free and offer more integration with Gmail than the built-in apps. Using the built-in apps may also cause compatibility issues with Duo, our Two-Factor Authentication system, when iOS updates are pushed out to your devices.

Google Calendar app:  https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-calendar/id909319292?mt=8

Step By Step Instructions (Gmail and Google Calendar apps)

Launch one of your Google apps.   Setup is the same for both of them.

At the sign-in page, Choose "Google", and enter your email address at swarthmore.edu.

On the next page, enter your Swarthmore username and password.

Choose your method for Duo authentication.

That's it!   You are done.  Your email and/or calendar will start syncing to your iOS apps.
