Enrol
Enrolment is the process of formally joining the University and becoming a Heriot-Watt student. You agree to abide by the rules of the University and to pay any fees, and we ask you to confirm that we have your correct details.
Enrolment will open in December and can be done through the Student Self Service.
Enrolling online involves checking and updating your personal details, uploading a photograph for your student card, checking your programme and fees and agreeing to our terms and conditions. Your courses already pre-registered in the system. You may check your enrolment confirmation letter for the registered courses and check the Guidance sheet below for the optional courses offered (if any).
On completion of online enrolment you will be given access to your University email and to the myHWU Student Portal (it may take up to 24 hours to be able to access) through which you can access many other services and facilities. Therefore, we highly recommend that you complete your enrolment as early as possible, before your Welcome Week commences.
