Returning students

Before you start each year of study at Herts, you'll need to complete registration to confirm you are continuing with your programme. This includes students who are studying on a distance learning programme or on placement.

The deadline to complete registration is Monday 12 February, but please check in case you have an earlier deadline for your programme. It’s important to complete registration as soon as you can each year so you can continue your studies.

If you’re returning to continue with your programme, a study abroad year, placement year, or are college students or doctoral college researchers who are off-site, you will still need to complete online registration.

If your student record has not changed to registered status within five days of completing online registration, please contact the Ask Herts team so we can sort it out for you.

Ready to complete registration?

Let’s take you through each step to complete registration.

Step 1 - check for our email
You will receive an email, sent to your personal email address, from the University inviting you to complete online registration.
If you haven’t received an email from us, then check your junk/trash email folders first. If you still haven’t received an email, contact the Ask Herts team. Make sure to include your student ID number.
Step 2 – login to your University account
After setting up your University account, please login to your University account as soon as you receive your registration email from the University. This may take up to half an hour to arrive in your inbox, after completing step one.
Click on the link called ‘online registration' and follow the instructions to re-register. This should be familiar as it's the same process when you registered at the start of your programme.
Once you have completed online registration, please allow the system 24 hours to update overnight. You can then log into your University account to check that your status has updated to ‘Registered’.
Step 3 – check your fees and funding
Make sure you’ve paid any tuition and accommodation fees. If you’re not sure when you need to pay your fees, be sure to check so that you can make sure you have everything covered.
If you are a UK or an EU student, remember that you’ll need to re-apply for funding each year. The Student Loan Company (SLC) will not release your loan payment until you have completed registration.
