ADVICE FOR YEAR 12 LEAVERS AND OTHER STUDENTS WHO LEAVE NSW PUBLIC SCHOOLS
While a student is enrolled in a NSW Public School, they are allocated user credentials that provide them with access to email, student portal, Google G Suite and Microsoft Office 365. They can access these services for free both while at school and from home - or anywhere else.
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY LEAVE?
Students have 180 days before they lose access to:
- Their school email account (GMail)
- Their Google Drive contents
- Any Google Classrooms they were joined to
- Their Microsoft OneDrive contents
- Any Microsoft Teams they were a member of
So, from the time that they leave, they have 180 days to check all their content/files in these school-provided services and download anything that they need to keep. There is no need to delete what they do not wish to keep. Anything left in their cloud repositories after the 180 days will no longer be accessible to them.
