How to register

Step 1
As an applicant, you were able to access the Welcome Portal. Now that you are a UWE Bristol student, you have access to different systems. Your welcome ID number becomes your UWE Bristol student number. You will have a new user ID and password to access these systems.
Once you have satisfied all admissions requirements, we'll send you your UWE email address and username to the email address that we've been using to communicate with you. Please check your junk email folder in the email address you used for this, and please contact userIDletter@uwe.ac.uk if you experience further issues. This can take at least five working days to arrive.
When you receive your username, follow the instructions that come with it to generate your initial password. This will be a temporary password and you will need to change it once you have completed the registration process.
Please follow the instructions that come with your temporary password to continue activating your account and complete online registration in MYUWE (as described in step 2).
Once you are registered, we’ll send all future communications to your UWE email address (you can find it in MYUWE). Make sure that you check it regularly.

Fees
The registration self-help form (InfoHub login required) can be used for enquiries relating to fee payment, including issues such as:
- if you're getting the message that your fees cannot be calculated, you can stop at this point. You should then be fully registered but will require fee payment to be set up, you can do this by completing the Fees self-help form 2022/23 on InfoHub. If you stop at this point, you will still be allowed to access the UWE systems.
- if you believe that your fees are incorrect on MYUWE when you try to register.
- If you have an outstanding debt for tuition fees from the previous academic year. If this is the case, please contact Credit Control. You will not be able to register until this is cleared.
