How to register

Step 1

As an applicant, you were able to access the Welcome Portal. Now that you are a UWE Bristol student, you have access to different systems. Your welcome ID number becomes your UWE Bristol student number. You will have a new user ID and password to access these systems.

Once you have satisfied all admissions requirements, we'll send you your UWE email address and username to the email address that we've been using to communicate with you. Please check your junk email folder in the email address you used for this, and please contact userIDletter@uwe.ac.uk if you experience further issues. This can take at least five working days to arrive.

When you receive your username, follow the instructions that come with it to generate your initial password. This will be a temporary password and you will need to change it once you have completed the registration process.

Please follow the instructions that come with your temporary password to continue activating your account and complete the registration process in MYUWE (as described below in step 2).

Once you are registered, we’ll send all future communications to your UWE email address (you can find it through MYUWE, the student portal). Make sure that you check it regularly.
Step 2
Once your account has been activated, you’ll be able to register online:
- Log into MYUWE with your email address and password and follow the 'Go to online registration' link.
- In the new window, click into the 'Registration' tab in MYUWE.
Guidance on how to register online and confirm your personal details is available in MYUWE.

Registration will involve confirming personal details, agreeing to the UWE Bristol Terms and Conditions and arranging fee payment.

Issues preventing registration

Please take a look at some of the potential issues that might prevent you from registering.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS)

For programmes that have an entry requirement for Occupational Health and/or DBS, you will not be able to register until this has been completed and is clear. Please contact Admissions about setting up DBS checks. This is a requirement and essential for entry.

Fees

The registration self-help form (InfoHub login required) can be used for enquiries relating to fee payment, including issues such as:

if you're getting the message that your fees cannot be calculated, you can stop at this point. You should then be fully registered but will require fee payment to be set up, you can do this by completing the Fees self-help form 2022/23 on InfoHub. If you stop at this point, you will still be allowed to access the UWE systems.
if you believe that your fees are incorrect on myUWE when you try to register.
If you have an outstanding debt for tuition fees from the previous academic year. If this is the case, please contact Credit Contro l. You will not be able to register until this is cleared.

Mode of attendance noted as sandwich course

If your course is showing you as on a sandwich course, this is because the course is normally designated as a sandwich degree and all students are registered as sandwich until they decide not to take a placement in their third year and transfer at that point to the full-time route of the course.

If you’re going on or returning from a sandwich placement, the ‘Registration’ tab in myUWE will be available to you before the start of term, depending on whether you’re awaiting the results of any re-assessments. It’s crucial that you register for your sandwich placement year and make arrangements to pay any fees so you can get student finance funding. Failure to register will also affect your access to UWE Bristol systems.
