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 programme.
Make sure you complete registration as soon as you can. The final date to register is Monday 13 February. Find out more information about how to register on Ask Herts.
My registration portal is blank / I can’t log in to the portal, what do I do?
You should be able to access the registration portal with just your student number. Please visit the registration portal to log in.
Where can I find my timetable?
Your Semester B timetable for the academic year will be available via the timetable link at the top of your homepage in StudyNet. View your lesson timetable online. 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.
A video guide about how to navigate your timetable and link your timetable with your personal calendar on your computer or mobile device is available here.

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 13 February 2023.
Find out more information on Ask Herts.
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 13 February 2023.
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 student ID Card?
If you're living in campus accommodation, you can get your student ID card during the arrival weekend on 21 and 22 January when you collect your keys.
If you're an international student, you can collect your student ID card when you attend your registration appointment.
And if you're a home student, visit Ask Herts Hutton on College Lane campus or Ask Herts at de Havilland campus to collect your card.
