Leaving Us Soon?
In collaboration with the Students’ Union, The Library, Student Services and the University Marketing Department, we have put together a helpful pre-flight checklist for anyone graduating or leaving the University.
Access To Your Account
Upon completion of your course (not graduation), you will have a limited 3-month window to access your Student account and associated Digital Technologies Services, such as Emails, Office 365, Blackboard, H: Drive Storage and more. If you withdraw from your course, your account will be disabled immediately.
Please note that this does not apply to printing; as soon as you complete your course, you will be unable to print.

PLEASE NOTE: You will not be able to access your account after these dates.
Take a look through the different sections below to ensure you don’t lose any of your work, emails or print credit before you go:
Email Account
