Getting a school onto Education accounts
A step-by-step process to move a school from the wrong account setup (for example, Google for Nonprofits) onto verified Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft 365 Education, so it can manage student accounts. Each phase opens into finite steps with the exact support documentation linked alongside.
Set this expectation early: once a clean application is submitted, the approval clock belongs to Google and Microsoft. Microsoft manual review runs up to 10 business days; Google review typically up to 14 business days, sometimes faster. Accurate paperwork on the first submission is what moves it fastest. The work below is about getting the submission right, not speeding up their queue.
