Returning students registration

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 in MYUWE.

You do not need a new card as a returning student. If your existing card is lost, stolen, or broken you can order a replacement card. See Student ID cards for more information.

Your timetable will be available three days after you have completed registration. You can check the general timetable for your programme and view our guide to understanding your teaching timetable.

If you are returning to study after a period of ‘time-out’ and you have already informed the University of your intention to return, your registration tab will appear automatically in due course. Please keep checking for the tab in MYUWE and then continue with registration. 

If you’ve notified us of a course transfer during your ‘suspension’, this will be reflected in your re-registration.

Unable to see registration in MYUWE?

If you are returning to study after suspension and you have already informed the University of your intention to return, your registration tab will appear automatically in due course. Please keep checking for the tab in MYUWE and then continue with registration. If you've notified us of a course transfer during your suspension, this will be reflected in your registration.

If you have had resits you will not see the registration tab on MYUWE until the results are published. We are working extremely hard to get your results through exam boards and published to enable you to register.

Please keep an eye on your email for updates. We'll let you know as soon as possible as to when as you can proceed with your registration.

Use our online guidance to re-familiarise yourself with what your UWE Bristol username looks like.

If you've forgotten your password during the break, you'll need to reset your password.

If you’re a home or EU student who is eligible to receive student finance, you’ll need to apply online before the start of your course to ensure you receive funding by the start of term.

You will be contacted about registering for the new academic year. When you register online in MYUWE, we confirm your registration to Student Finance, and this releases the funds to you within three to five working days after the payment date on your loan schedule, providing you register prior to the course start date.

If eligible, your loan will be in two parts (tuition fee loan and maintenance loan). Maintenance loans for first year students are not released on the first day at University, so make sure you have available funds to tide you over until your first loan payment comes through.

If you’re a carer, care leaver, estranged from your parents, a refugee or asylum seeker, financial support is available from UWE Cares.

If you have a question about your funding, please contact the Student Money Service or visit our fees and funding pages.

If you feel you don’t want to continue with your course, please contact a campus Information Point for advice as soon as you can. There may be alternative options available to you that will help you finish your course. Find out more about how to suspend, transfer or withdraw from your studies.

If you decide that you don’t wish to continue with your studies, you must notify us in writing before the first day of term.

If we receive your written notification after the start of term, you’ll be liable to pay a proportion of the annual tuition fees (see the UWE Bristol Tuition Fee policy).

Transferring courses

Take a look at our information about transferring your course. We suggest speaking to a Student Support Adviser to talk through your options.

Once approved, transfer requests are updated regularly so please check again in a couple of days.

Registering on two courses

If you are currently registered on a course with us (for example, pre-sessional English), you will only be able to register on your next course once it’s been confirmed that you’ve completed the original one.

Placements

Recent placement agreements will take a few days to action and show in MYUWE.

Mode of attendance noted as sandwich course

If you’re going on or returning from a sandwich placement, Registration in MYUWE will be available to you before the start of term, depending on whether you’re awaiting the results of any re-assessments.

If you’re going on or returning from a sandwich placement, the ‘Registration’ tab in MYUWE will be available to you before the start of term, depending on whether you’re awaiting the results of any re-assessments. It’s crucial that you register for your sandwich placement year and make arrangements to pay any fees so you can get student finance funding. Failure to register will also affect your access to UWE Bristol systems.
