Research faculty and staff can request access to the tool by submitting an access request form. Once a completed form is received, C&IT will schedule an intake meeting to gather project information. After a successful consultation, a user will be granted a Wayne State Google account, including access to Google Cloud and Google Cloud Skills Boost. At that time, mandatory and optional training will be assigned, and pricing options will be provided.
Once all mandatory training has been completed, navigate to cloudlab.research.wayne.edu and submit a form indicating the type of project needed in Google Cloud. Once this form is submitted, the project is automatically created and available in the Google Cloud console.
