PebblePad Alumni personal account - Student Guide

As a student of University of Leeds, you are entitled to a free personal PebblePad account. It is best to create this when you are ready to leave the university as it will pick-up all the Assets you have created during your time here and bring them into your personal account. So, the timing is important:

  • Don't create your alumni account until you have completed all your university PebblePad work.
  • Do create your alumni account before you leave the university and your univeristy log-in expires.

What are the benefits of an Alumni Personal Account?

Take your PebblePad Assets with you when you leave and continue to use Pebble+ to support your personal learning and professional development as you move on to the next stage of your career.

How long will I have access to my Alumni Personal Account?

You will have access to this account for seven years after you leave the university. At that point you can choose to retain your Personal Account for an annual fee. You should receive notification of this from PebblePad so its very important to make sure you maintain an up-to-date email address on your Alumni Personal account.

Transferring Files linked to University Storage

If you have linked any files to your PebblePad account from the university's OneDrive storage, you will need to move these to your own storage space and relink them, otherwise you will lose access to them when your univeristy account closes.  You can connect your Pebble+ account to your personal external storage (Google Drive, DropBox or OneDrive for example). To connect to one of these file stores, in Pebble+ go to the Burger menu and choose Additional Settings > External services.

How do I create my Alumni Personal Account?

Creating your Alumni Personal Account is quick and easy.  When logged into your university PebblePad account, go to the Burger Menu > Additional settings > Free Alumni accounts. You can find the Burger menu button on the top left of your screen.

After continuing past the pop-up window, you will be asked to provide details. Make sure to use a personal email address instead of your university email address as you will lose access to this when you leave your university. All PebblePad notifications will be sent to the email address you enter on this page.

Once you have created your personal account, you will see that, as well as Assets and Resources sections there is now also a university repository where you will be able to see all your university work:
