Registration
Information on registration for new, returning and international students.
Why you need to register
Whether you’re a new or returning student, you will need to complete student registration at the start of each academic year. You will receive an email from the University inviting you to register online. You must register with the University so that you can:
- confirm your details
- agree to UWE Bristol's Terms and Conditions
- arrange to pay your fees
- access the online learning platforms
- access your timetable (it takes three working days for your full timetable to be visible in MYUWE)
- receive your student loan (if applicable)
- collect your student ID card upon arrival.
December onwards
Register for January 2025
Before you arrive on campus, you need to register online and upload your ID card photo. This will give you access to our IT systems, your timetable and financial information. It only takes a few minutes.
Registration is open from December if you're starting your course in January 2025.
You will receive an email from the University inviting you to register online.
