Using PebblePad - The Important Stuff
Graduating or Leaving UTAS?
You can continue to have access to your PebblePad work (including portfolios, reflections, images, etc.) after they leave UTAS. To do this, you need to create an "Alumni" account - this is a new free account with PebblePad where you access a copy of your assets.
Please note that you need to create this Alumni account before your UTAS account is deactivated. Remember to create your new account when you are preparing to leave UTAS.
