Empowering Education with Google Tools

Florida State University is excited to announce a partnership with Google Education. Google Education is designed to support and enhance academic and professional experience for FSU students, faculty and staff. With Google Education, you will have access to a suite of tools that foster collaboration, streamline communication and boost productivity.

What is Google Education?

Google Education is a secure, cloud-based platform on Google Workspace, created to provide schools and universities with a secure academic and professional environment. It provides a collaborative environment where students, faculty, and staff can connect, create and share easily. Available to anyone with an @fsu.edu email address, Google Education offers convenient access to popular Google tools like Drive, Docs, Sheets and Meet, all through your FSU single sign-on. 

What is protected in Google Education?

As part of Florida State University’s partnership with Google Education, certain platforms are protected under our agreement. These include: Gemini, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat, Sites, Keep, Jamboard, NotebookLM, Tasks, Contacts and Vault. 

What is not protected in Google Education?

The following tools are not included in FSU’s Google data protection agreement. They will not be available in FSU Google accounts and should not be used to store or transmit university data: Gmail, Calendar, Maps, Translate, YouTube, Classroom and Earth.
