Student File Transfer (formerly Student Asset Migration)

Applies to enterprise.

Use Adobe Student File Transfer to automatically transfer your creative assets from your assigned school account to a personal account.

Note:

Adobe Student File Transfer replaces the old Student Asset Migration service, introduced in 2020. Users who need to access the older tool can do so at https://graduation.adobe.com/sam for a limited time.

Before you begin

School account

Keep your school account credentials handy. You'll be asked to sign in.

Managing Account Storage: Personal Adobe accounts typically provide 5GB of file storage. If you have more than 5GB of files in your school account, remove any non-essential files before starting the transfer or upgrade your personal account to an Adobe plan with higher storage capacity.

If you begin the process without following these steps, you may run out of space during the transfer. As a result, some files might not be copied, and you'll receive an email notification about the incomplete transfer. You can then free up some storage or upgrade your account. Then, restart the transfer process. Any files remaining in your account that have not already been transferred will be copied.

Personal account

You require a functional email ID to sign up for a new personal account. You'll be prompted to sign up for one if you don't already have a personal Adobe account.

Still have questions? See Student File Transfer Frequently Asked Questions.

Note:

Student File Transfer performs a copy operation when transferring files from your school account to your personal account. If you need to re-run the transfer process again for any reason, you can do that for as long as you have access to your school account.

Transfer files

Student File Transfer from Adobe is an easy-to-use tool that allows you to transfer your assets in just a few short steps.

  1. Go to https://graduation.adobe.com/ and select Get Started.

    Note:

    Adobe Student File Transfer does not currently support Behance or Portfolio assets as part of its normal file copy process. Learn more about how to use the Portfolio transfer service and move a Behance profile between accounts. These are separate, one-time file transfers, not file copy services.

  2. Sign in to your school account. If you are already signed in, confirm the school account details are correct or select Sign in to another account to switch to a different source account. If you are not signed in yet, you'll be asked to do so before moving on.

  3. Sign in to your personal Adobe account. If you don’t have a personal Adobe account, select No, sign up to create one.

    File transfer for students wizard with the options to sign in to your personal account or sign up for a new one.

  4. Confirm the email addresses for both your school and Adobe personal accounts.

    The email address for your personal account will be used to send a results email when the transfer process is complete. If you prefer to receive the email confirmation at a different email address, select Notify a different email. When the information on this screen is correct, select Start transfer.

  5. Once the transfer begins, you will see a confirmation screen. You can close the browser now – you will be notified when the process is complete.

  6. When the transfer is complete, you'll receive a confirmation email with a summary of the results.
