Congratulations, you made it!
Whether you have completed your Undergraduate, Postgraduate taught or Postgraduate Research qualification, there are some tasks you may want to do before your graduation date. At the end of your studies, your access to the University network and services will cease. There are, however, some services that we can offer you beyond graduation but due to GDPR legislation, you will have to give us your consent to continuing using them. This blog post gives you a list of 6 actions we recommend you take BEFORE GRADUATION.
1. Opt in to have continued access to your email for 2 years after graduation.
2. Move your files from OneDrive.
3. Sell on any outstanding print/copy credit – how to do this.
4. RefWorks (or EndNote) – Keep your references after graduation.
5. Library books – return and pay any outstanding fines. You should make sure you return any library books that are still in your possession and pay any outstanding library fines.
6. Download your submitted work from Canvas. In Canvas click on Account -> Files -> click on the 3 dots to the right of the Submissions folder -> select Download.
7. Link your UoS LinkedIn Learning account to your personal LinkedIn account to ensure that your learning history is retained. Whilst you will no longer be able to access LinkedIn Learning content for free after your University account is deleted, you will have the option to sign up for a paid LinkedIn Learning account with your entire learning history maintained. Information on how to connect your Learning account and personal profile can be found on LinkedIn’s Connecting your LinkedIn profile guide
4th Undergradates please also fill in the National Student Survey.
Finally, Information Services wishes you the very best for the future, remember that you can come back and visit the library any time and you can also apply for a Alumni membership.
