On completion of your studies, you can convert your institution account to a free alumni account to retain access to your assets and the use of PebblePad tools.
An Alumni account is free while your institution licences PebblePad, plus three years.

Work with an alumni account
Your alumni account has two asset stores available.
- Personal Asset store
- Institution Asset store
You should know:
- New assets created in your alumni account will always be saved in your personal asset store.
- Institution assets can be opened, edited and shared as before.
- A copied asset from your Institution store will be saved to your personal asset store.
- You will not be able to access template resources provided to you by your institution.
- You will not be able to share with ATLAS for assessment.
It can take up to 24 hours for institution assets to appear in your new Alumni account.
