You do have the ability to transfer your Google Workspace content from your UCSB account to a personal Gmail account.
Guidance for Connect Functional Accounts
Some general guidance for using or sharing Connect Functional Accounts with 2SV enabled.
Delegating Access to Your Account
Connect Google Workspace allows you to delegate access to your email (and/or calendar) so that other people can manage your email and calendar without having to know your password. Giving your Connect account password out is not recommended. If you manage Connect functional accounts, you can delegate access to those who require it, on an as needed basis.
