From 2025/26, LBU will no longer offer students several Google Apps. If you’re using these tools in your @student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk account and want to keep your content, you need to move it into alternative tools according to the schedule below:

• Google Calendar and Google Photos – move your content before 01/02/26
• Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites – move your content before 01/08/26

Any personal (non-LBU) Google accounts e.g. ‘yourname@gmail.com’ are unaffected.

Some LBU Google Apps remain switched on: Chrome Browser and Sync, Search and Assistant, YouTube, Google Takeout.

Before moving your content, we recommend you do a ‘digital tidy’. Log into your Google Calendar, Drive and Photos apps, and delete anything you no longer need. You can then move / export the remainder. Migration guides are available:

• Move your files and photos to a personal Google account
• Move your files and photos to your LBU OneDrive account
• Export your Google calendar to another calendar
• Using OneDrive guides

If you’re leaving LBU, your accounts will be deleted 13 months after you leave. Please export your files before you leave.

If you need help with the above, please contact the Library.
