Setting up a Gmail Vacation Responder

Log into your TCNJ Gmail account, and follow these steps:

  1. Click on the gear icon (at the upper right) and go to “See all Settings”
  2. On the “General” tab, scroll down until you see the “Vacation responder” section
  3. Fill in the text box called “Message” with whatever you want it to say
  4. Select “Vacation responder on”
    • Once you select this setting, you can also enter a date range for when the responder should be active
  5. Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page
  6. If you did not set a date range in step 4, remember to come back to this page and select “Vacation responder off” when you return from vacation (you can leave the text box filled in or clear it)
