International students

You will receive an email asking you to set up your University account so you can complete registration. Please set up your account as soon as you can.

Your University account gives you access to all of our systems and resources including StudyNet and Canvas which you will need for your programme.

Before your programme starts, you will receive another email asking you to complete registration. To start registration, click 'Online Registration' under the services heading in your portal.

Be sure to check that your programme details are correct, including your programme title. If you have studied with us previously, please select the course that you are currently completing your enrolment for.

If anything looks wrong, contact our Ask Herts team for help, but don't worry about the programme start and end dates, as they may not be exactly the same as what was stated on your CAS letter.

Next you will need to confirm your address and ensure that you keep this up to date during your time with us. Please make sure you complete your full address details, as it is essential for your safety and will make sure that any important documents such as your qualification certificates, will be sent to the right address.

If you're not sure what information to add to the fields, please use the guidance below:

• Home address – this is where you normally live outside of term time, so it will be your home country address. Please note, the postcode lookup will only work for UK addresses.
• Term address - this is your UK address where you will be living while you are studying with us. Make sure to provide an exact address - if you are living in University accommodation your full address will be included in our emails or you can find it in our student guides for living on campus.
• Mailing address - this is the address we will use when we send you any important letters. This won't happen often, but it's important that we have a correct address. If you put down your Term Address here, you'll have to remember to change it in your University account if you move.
• Work address - we only need this completed if you are studying a course directly linked to an employer, such as a degree apprenticeship.

If there is an emergency, we will need the details for someone you would like to contact. It is preferable to add someone who is located in the UK (e.g. a friend) who is happy to be contacted immediately in case of emergency, to assist you whilst you are attending University and should be aware that you have listed them as your emergency contact.

UK universities must provide regular statistics about our students to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA), so that they can get an idea of who attends the University of Hertfordshire.

This section will go through questions such as ethnicity, your highest qualifications, any disabilities you wish to disclose, how you’ll be funding your studies and your religion or beliefs.

These questions are mandatory and there is an explanation available by clicking on each of the questions. If you wish, you can select ‘information refused’ for questions you would not like to answer.

By telling us about your career aspirations, you will then receive personalised support with your career plans from our Careers and Employment team.

To access personalised support, you will be asked if you are a care leaver, estranged, a parent or a carer.

Here you’ll see a summary of the information you’ve entered. Make sure to check and ensure they are correct. You will also see a link to the University’s terms and conditions that you should read through before submitting the form.

Once you have submitted your details and completed online registration, you will be confirming your plans to study at Herts.
