One last step before officially joining Herts

Completing your registration confirms your place at Herts and unlocks everything you need to get started, including your timetable, student ID card, university systems and, if applicable, your student finance payments

Before teaching begins, you'll need to complete your registration through the registration portal. This is where you'll confirm your personal details, provide any required documents and check that all registration tasks have been completed. You can find a list of everything you'll need to upload to the registration document portal on Ask Herts.

Once you've submitted everything, our Student Enrolment team will review your registration and contact you if we need any additional information. Keep an eye on your emails and registration portal so you don't miss any updates.

What happens next?

Once your registration has been approved, you'll have access to the systems, services and support you'll use throughout your time at Herts.

After registration, you'll be able to:

  • access your timetable and teaching materials;
  • use university systems and online services;
  • collect and activate your student ID card;
  • access library, printing and campus facilities;
  • receive your Student Finance payment (if applicable)
