Additional Services Available
The MSU OGC (Office of General Counsel) has approved to provide additional services for MSU students, faculty, and staff. These additional services include:
- Google Ads (formerly AdWords),
- Google Analytics,
- Google Groups,
- Google Maps,
- Google Programmable Search Engine
- Google Scholar, and
- Google Takeout
MSU is now authorized to grant users access to Google Scholar and / or Google Takeout using their '@msu.edu' address. Prior to this change, personal Gmail accounts were required.
Users requesting access to Google Scholar should be aware that each request will be evaluated and approved on a case-by-case basis.
MSU does not have any special use of Google Earth Engine, unfortunately. It can still be used on a personal account, however.
