- If required, you will be invited to book a slot to attend an face-to-face appointment on campus
Your Registration Portal will show the various steps required prior to fully completing registration
Please follow the steps listed under 'Complete your Registration'.
Once satisfied that you have met the criteria for us to complete your registration, your student record will be marked ready to register. The earliest you could become a fully registered student is 40 days prior to the start date of your course. Once you are a fully registered student of the University of Hertfordshire you will incur any applicable tuition fees in line with the University’s Fees and Finance Policy. The University will then notify Student Finance England (or the relevant awarding body) of your registration.
You can see your registration status on your Student Record, this should change from Self-Registered to Registered. If this is taking an unusually long time (more than a couple of days) please check that you have provided your documents and check that you do not have any outstanding email requests for further documentation. If you think you should now be registered but your student record has not updated, please contact us.
