Leaving Post-1992 UK universities? Take your work with you.
The 70+ UK universities that gained university status in or after 1992, formerly polytechnics or higher-education colleges.
Typical account-closure pattern
Account-closure policies vary more widely than at Russell Group institutions; some cut alumni email at graduation, most cut file workloads within 30 days of finishing the course.
What to take with you
The work most often missed once a school Microsoft 365 account closes:
- OneDrive — all your files, all your folders.
- Class OneNote notebooks — your own section group.
- Personal OneNote notebooks — exam revision, mind maps.
- Outlook email attachments worth keeping.
- Co-authored SharePoint documents.
How mydocs.school helps
Sign in once with your existing Microsoft 365 account. The dashboard shows everything attached to your account — OneDrive, personal OneNote, every class OneNote. One click for each, or one click for the lot. Files stream straight to your browser as a zip.

Caveat
The closure policy described above is typical for Post-1992 UK universities as a category. Individual institutions inside this category may have different timelines — alumni licensing variations, longer retention windows for specific course types, shorter windows for contracted teaching staff. Treat this page as a starting point and verify the specific date with your institution's IT team.
