Information

GRCC's R&W subscription is an unlimited (Domain-wide) subscription for use by all students and staff within the school/district/specified domain(s), with take home access which includes access to all supported platforms including Windows, Mac, Google Chrome, as well as iPad and Android apps.

The domains of the schools in the Kent ISD are not covered under the GRCC R&W subscription.

**This is also good for GRCC devices for users to create an account for, MacOS specifically, but Windows users can as well.
