Heriot-Watt Online
You must enrol annually before the start of the new academic year, regardless of when you first enrolled with the University. The process will activate access to online tools like Canvas and will allow you to register and pay for courses.
When to enrol
Online enrolment for 2023/24 will be available from the 7 August 2023 for those eligible to enrol. You should enrol online by the start date of your programme, unless otherwise instructed by staff.
Completing your enrolment
There are two stages to enrolment:
- Online enrolment
- Course registration and payment
Before you enrol for 2023/24, please ensure you have arrangements in place for the payment of your tuition fees and you know which courses you intend to register for.
Find more information on tuition fees. Students with an outstanding debt will not be able to enrol until the debt is paid.
Information on the courses you should register for will be provided by your Academic School.
Course registration and payment instructions
You can register and pay for course(s) via the Student Portal (myHWU) once you have completed online enrolment. Consult your programme structure for a full list of available courses on the relevant programme pages on the website or refer to section A11 of the HW Online Student Handbook.
