  • have access to subscription content or digital resources.

When you move school, your account will need to be closed as you will no longer be linked to your previous school.

You will need to set up a new account at your new school with your new email address. Your account history is, put simply, an account of purchases made by the school and as such is not a personal training or resources record.
