Guide to Transfer or Download Your GoogleEDU Content
Your Account → Your Stuff → Take It With You
Educational G Suite accounts are typically closed when students are no longer enrolled or educators leave a school. This means that students who transfer or graduate no longer have access to the files and resources in G Suite.
The end of the school year brings new changes for many students or staff members.
- Maybe a family is moving to a new school or district.
- Maybe a student is graduating from high school or college.
- Maybe a teacher is moving to a new district or changing careers.
- Maybe an educator who is retiring after many years of service.
If you are graduating, retiring, or leaving your school you should either “Transfer content” or “Download data” before leaving their school. You might just want to create a backup copy of your Google for Education Account data. Once it is gone it is most likely gone for good. The good news is that Google makes the process pretty painless.

If the content is created on school time...and let's face it, any time you work on content, that's school time because we're all expected to prepare outside of class, including nights and weekends...then it quite possibly belongs to the school, not to the teacher. Gotta read the fine print, though.
