Before you leave Western you may want to transfer your G Suite data to a personal Google account so you do not lose access to it when your WWU account is deleted. Student accounts are retained for one quarter after a student graduates or stops taking classes. 

Do you use OneDrive as well? Download OneDrive files before leaving Western
