Information for Graduates 2024/25

**IMPORTANT REMINDER** Google Takeout for Students Leaving HDSB:

As of July 12, 2025 students who are not returning for the 2025-2026 school year, including those graduating from the HDSB, will lose access to the HDSB Network & Google Workspace for Education applications, data, and email. Note that this includes both Gmail and Drive.

IMPORTANT:  If you have used your HDSB email when applying for post secondary, resume development, job applications, etc. you will need to update your information and change it to a personal email address before access to your HDSB account is lost.

To retain your Google Workspace data please see one of the options below:

• Transfer email and Drive files to a personal Google Account using Transfer Your Content - see Transfer their content 

  • Personal Gmail accounts only have 15 GB free drive space

  • All files in your My Drive will count toward your quota 

  • Archive data using Google Takeout

• The traditional Takeout is also available to create an archive of all their data in Google Workspace. 

This will enable you to easily retain your email, essays, resumes, science projects, and any other files stored on Google Drive before access has been removed to your HDSB account.

This must be completed before July 12, 2025.

If you require further information or assistance, please ask a staff member at your school to open a TOPdesk request. 

Diploma/Transcript pick up:

If you missed the original Diploma package distribution dates, the main office will be open for grads from Thursday, July 10 to Monday, July 14 - 9:00AM to 2:00PM. School offices re-open on Monday, August 18.

*STUDENTS OVER 18 - If you make arrangements for someone else to pick up your diploma package (ie. parent or guardian) we will need an email from you, or a handwritten letter from you, giving them permission. 

**This is also a good time for students to return any textbooks and/or school owned materials.
