Portfolio advice: How to upload your UAL portfolio to PebblePad

[@mimizofia]

why use pebble pad this is so stressful I think my brain is about to pop

[@_ruoye]

I keep uploading files but after I click upload, the page renews and all of a sudden my files are gone and I cannot find them even if I write down the tag on the bar above and click search. Why can't I just send with email this is so impractical...

Unfortunately I did not get in, but a classmate who I worked with on a project did get in with grants. But after seeing his portfolio, he had all of my design work and photography throughout it without crediting me. Even within our project he took all of the credit for my work and presented it as his own. I do have evidence that the work is mine, but I don’t know what to do about this. I feel rather defeated. He’s from a private school background and is already at such a better advantage in comparison to me. I know I could’ve made a better portfolio but it had technical issues that I couldn’t fix fully from home due to no access to equipment. As well as not having the needed time as I was in another country and finishing multiple demanding projects. I nearly fainted trying to get everything I needed in time whilst a lot of outside issues interfered (secondary carer etc). Is there anything that can be done about stolen work in a submitted portfolio? Or anyone I could contact?

Uploading this after I’ve already submitted it 😂

how did it go ?

Why can’t we just upload them as an entire pdf file into one of the sections?

[@helaenahobbs7407]

Perhaps so nobody uploads a document that exceeds the 30 page limit, and because most applicants will be creating image heavy portfolios. It would make much more sense especially for more text based portfolios (like I’m doing one for acting and performance) but I’ve just downloaded each page as an image and will upload them individually. Best of luck with your application!

Hello! The file types that PebblePad accepts are listed on this page on our website: www.arts.ac.uk/study-at-ual/apply/after-you-apply/how-to-upload-your-portfolio The PebblePad system does not accept pdf uploads so you would need to convert your portfolio to another file type which is listed. This is to ensure that every applicant uploads the same number of images (pages) required by the course to make the process fair. Good luck with your application!

@@UniversityoftheArtsLondon How do I submit written works? I'm applying for journalism postgrad and I have essays with 20 pages. How do I submit this as a single file since you don't accept Pdfs? I've tried turning the word doc into jpeg but it makes each page a separate jpeg.

Hi, I have applied to London College of fashion a month ago and I still haven't received the portfolio upload invitation from the admission . I am a bit nervous, have I done anything wrong? When usually do they send the Pebble Ped logins?

[@UniversityoftheArtsLondon]

Hey! Just to reassure you, there is normally a wait after you’ve submitted your application until we send an email requesting your portfolio. The wait time can vary depending on the course. If you haven’t received the email requesting your portfolio still please feel free to email [e-mail] and we can check your application to see if you should have received this yet. Hope this helps!

Mine didn’t upload when I pressed confirm? I’m not sure why

[@UniversityoftheArtsLondon]

No problem, we can try and help! If you double check that the file types you've uploaded are accepted by your particular course and PebblePad (refer to the course page and the email you received from UAL Admissions). If your work is still not uploading you can contact the Admissions team via the email you have from us inviting you to upload your work to PebblePad. One of the team will get back to you. If they cannot solve your upload issue we'll refer you to PebblePad support. Hope this helps!

[@jadanaomiii]

Thank you!!!

[@jadanaomiii]

I’ve checked over my files & emailed admissions and pebblepad support 😭I’m terrible at this technical stuff it still isn’t working for me sadly

[@UniversityoftheArtsLondon]

@@jadanaomiii That's okay! The Admissions team get a lot of enquiries so may take a few days to get back to you but I've let them know to look out for your query (Just note the team's regular work hours don't include weekends so you may hear back next week). You will get a response however 😊
