I don't know where to put this on the forum so I thought this would be the best place. 

I have a google account which is run by my school, the issue is that I need to transfer my connected apps over to a new account otherwise it will all be deleted as I am leaving school. If anyone has any knowledge on how to solve this, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Yeah I have seen that but what I need to do is get the connected apps migrated to another account but because google decide they don't want a live chat or direct email support, it is hard to ask if they can do it

What do you mean by connected apps? Like Google's OpenID protocol? As in you used the sign in with Google option on websites with your school email? If that's the case than your SOL I believe since it is permanently tied to that email for good.

So if you go to this link then you go down to connected apps and sites, i have accounts that are linked to the email. So once the account is deleted, the data on the connected apps will be lost

From what I understand yes, so you should contact each app connected to your account to get that changed. You might be able to ask your school if you can keep the email or pay them to keep it.
