Start of Term Registration

In this section you will find important information regarding how to register at the start of term. Please ensure you register ASAP to become a fully confirmed Herts student!

When does term start?
UK and international students start on Monday 26 September 2022. There will be lots of events planned to welcome you to Herts and settle you into your new programme.
View our academic calendar to see all term and semester dates.
Some courses will start before Monday 26 September 2022, so check in with your programme leader if you have any queries.
What is registration and do I need to do it?
All students need to register – new students as well as those who are returning to their studies.
Registration is an important step in joining us at Herts. You must complete registration to become an official University of Hertfordshire student and have access to your full programme.
Make sure you complete registration as soon as you can. The final date to register is Monday 10 October. Find out more information about how to register on Ask Herts.
My joining instructions are blank / I can’t log in to the portal, what do I do?
You should be able to access the joining instruction portal with just your student number. Please visit the joining instructions portal to log in.
Where can I find my timetable?
Once published, you'll be able to view your timetable via the timetable link at the top of your homepage in StudyNet. If you experience an error on the page, please call the Library and Computing Services Helpdesk on 01707 284678 or email helpdesk@herts.ac.uk.
Find out more information on Ask Herts.
If I haven't registered can I still start my course?
Yes, you can still get involved in various activities happening across the University by simply using your Student ID number. If you are having problems with your timetable, you should contact your personal tutor or programme leader. You must register by Monday 10 October.

If I haven't registered, can I still move into my on-campus accommodation?
Yes you can. Registering as a Herts student is a separate process and doesn’t impact your ability to move into our on-campus accommodation. You must complete registration by Monday 10 October.
My student finance status hasn’t changed to registered so my maintenance loan is going to be late.
We are working as fast as we can to make sure that everyone gets their maintenance loans. Visit Ask Herts to find out more.
How and when do I get my ID Card?
Visit one of the Ask Herts hubs to collect your card.
If you’re living in campus accommodation, you can collect your ID card during the arrival weekends on 17 and 18 September, and Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 September in the common rooms at College Lane campus and the restaurant at de Havilland campus.
