Gsuite FAQ

No. Google Scholar does not provide a way to transfer or export ownership of a Scholar Profile to another Google account. For this reason, Google Scholar Profiles should not be created using a University of Houston Google Workspace account.

If your Scholar Profile is currently managed by your @cougarnet.uh.edu account, you have two options:

Option 1: Recreate Your Profile Under a Personal Google Account (Recommended)

Before your UH account is closed, delete the existing Scholar Profile and create a new one using a personal Google account. This helps avoid having duplicate profiles.

To delete your profile:

1. Sign in to Google Scholar with the account that manages the profile.

2. Select Menu → Settings → Account.

3. Choose Delete Scholar Account and follow the prompts.

Option 2: Leave the Profile As Is

If no action is taken, your Scholar Profile will become read-only after the associated UH Google account is deactivated. You will no longer be able to update or manage the profile. Google eventually deletes Scholar Profiles whose managing Google accounts have been removed.

Important: Complete any needed changes before your University Google account is closed.

You can use the MyNSM G-Suite Apps (including Google Docs - Fig. 1) through the MyNSM dashboard. The MyNSM G-Suite Apps are currently available to all instructors and students. To log in, users can enter their Cougarnet credentials (usercougarnetid@cougarnet.uh.edu).  Click here information about Logging into Google Docs.

Once in Google docs, students could create a document and share the access with you and the TA's via a shareable link. Then, you can use the comments feature to add feedback in-text or in the document's margin. This way, you can give feedback in your timeframe and don't have to worry about coordinating group meetings. You can also hold "online office hours" using the chat function if you wish to talk to students about their work. For grades and other UH Level 1 Data, you can use Blackboard.
