This guide explains how Pebblepad Alumni accounts work, how staff and students can set one up for themselves, and provides an example of instructions which can be given to students.
Note - Users who create personal accounts will be able to continue using their personal PebblePad account as long as the University of Strathclyde licenses PebblePad, plus an additional three years.
You can activate your Pebblepad Alumni account yourself whenever you choose. However, if students set up their account early in their degree, this could create some confusion between personal and university account, so most users will set up their Alumni account just before they leave the University.
Students and staff should activate their Pebblepad Alumni account before their Myplace student username and password expires (6 months after graduation/ceasing to be enrolled), and/or before they graduate or leave the University.
If the user's University username and password have already expired, a Alumni account set up link can usually be activated by Myplace support, however please note it may not be possible in all circumstances. The programme or area will also need to provide a verified (through photo id) personal email address and identification details for the former student of staff member for data protection purposes.

Setting up your Pebblepad Alumni Account
If you have been using Pebblepad at the University of Strathclyde, you are entitled to a free personal alumni account when you leave. You will be able to continue to access the files you created in your University account, and link this to your new personal account for future use.
You should activate your Pebblepad Alumni account before your Myplace student username and password expires (6 months after graduation/ceasing to be enrolled), so ideally before you graduate or leave the University.
If you need to access your material, and your University username and password have already expired, please contact your learning advisor or programme administrator for advice, and note it may not be possible in all circumstances.
You can activate your Pebblepad Alumni account yourself whenever you choose.
Disclaimer: You will be able to continue using your personal PebblePad account as long as the University of Strathclyde licenses PebblePad, plus an additional three years.
REMEMBER: It may take up to 24 hours for the new tab and all of Assets to appear in your new Alumni account.
