Postgraduate study is a great opportunity to explore the subject you love further, develop your skills and enhance your career opportunities.
You need to ensure you are prepared for when your computing account is deactivated.
This is set to take place on your leaving date. We will send you an email 30 days before this happens as well as reminders 7 and 3 days beforehand.
When this date is reached, you will lose access to all University services including your email inbox, Blackboard account and OneDrive. So please ensure that you save any documents that you may need in the future and leave yourself plenty of time to transfer any files over.
If you have an approved reason to access your account after this date has passed, please get in touch with the i-zone as soon as possible.
Once you have graduated, the University will liaise with you via your personal email address so please ensure your contact details are up to date before you leave. As an Alumni you can keep your details up to date here.
As you prepare to leave the University, please return any remaining library items you have on loan. If you are unable to return to the library, please let us know. You will be able to post the items to us instead. See borrowing, returning and reservations for details.
If you are a full-time undergraduate student, your library account will close four months after you complete your course. You will still have access to print and online resources during this time. If you are a part time student or a student on a shorter course, the expiry date of your account may vary. You can contact the library for an exact date on when your account will close.
As a graduate you get alumni membership to the library. This includes a year’s free access to the library study spaces and print resources. This doesn’t include an IT account, but we provide a visitor PC and you’ll be able to access our guest Wi-Fi.
You can still access The Learning Skills Hub and complete modules at your own pace. We have a “Life after University” section of modules to support you as you leave the University. You’ll find:
