FAQ:

1) I can’t see my project and/or how to apply my credit to my account:

(has used their university email address)
● If you're a Google Workspace for Education school, the Google Developer Console
needs to be turned on within the Google Workspace for Education console, by your
Google Workspace for Education Administrator. Otherwise, you will not be able to
create projects using school email addresses. We suggest reaching out to your Google
Workspace for Education Administrator if you are not able to create a project.
Alternatively, students can also retrieve a coupon using their edu account and then
redeem it in the GCP console using their personal Gmail account.

2) My account was turned off- Help!

● Good news, your account isn’t gone forever. Please add another coupon to your
account and you will be able to use it again.

3) How do I see how much money I’ve used?

● We would suggest checking out this help documentation for setting alerts to monitor
projects in the Console and you can also use the Cost Management Resource Guide to
share more resources about how to monitor and manage costs in GCP.

4) How do I look at what Google Cloud Resources I’ve used?

● We would suggest checking out this Set up Cloud Billing data export to BigQuery.

5) I want someone else to work on my project or give someone else

access
● We would suggest checking out Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations
