Returning Student Enrolment

To login to UWS systems you need to make sure you have set up the Microsoft Authenticator App.  If you have this skip to step 2.  If not, please follow these steps to complete this before trying to enrol.

1. From the Play or Apple store, install the Microsoft Authenticator app onto your smartphone – do not open it at this point!
2. Using an internet browser on a laptop, PC or phone, go to outlook.office365.com and sign in to your ‘Work or School’ account using your UWS email and password.
3. If you have not configured the app before you will be prompted to provide more information. (If you do not get this skip to point 5). Select ‘Next’ and follow the on-screen instructions to complete set up the Authenticator App on your smartphone.
4. You are now ready to go and can start using the Office apps via outlook.office365.com or install them on your device.
5. Microsoft Authenticator will ask you to authenticate yourself on every login, so please ensure you have access to it whenever you are accessing your UWS account. When you are asked to authenticate you will see a number on your laptop/PC/Phone screen. You need to open the authenticator app on your smartphone and enter this number to complete your login.
6. Once logged in, select your account (Top right corner) and change your password to something of your choice, following our new 14-digit password requirement. We recommend 3 random words, an Uppercase, Lowercase, special character, and a number.
7. Once you have updated your password, and completed your security steps, you will be able to access the UWS Student App. The UWS Student App is your essential companion to keep you up to date on what you need to know about UWS. You’ll use the UWS Student App throughout your studies; it will take you through the different stages of induction and becoming a fully enrolled UWS student.
8. Visit aka.ms/mfasetup Login using your UWS email and password to view and edit your MFA information.
9. You will have been sent a link to enrolment as part of our communications to you. Once you have completed the above steps, you can then click on the link in your email to complete the enrolment form.

For more information on setting up Multi-Factor Authentication, you can view our MFA set-up guide here.

Enrolment is the formal process all students go through, each year of study, to register as a student at the University.

Enrolment can also be accessed via the Student App: My Student Records > Student > Online Enrolment.

We would encourage you to enrol as soon as possible, to ensure a smooth start to your studies.

Enrolment lets us report to agencies such as Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) and Student Loans Company (SLC), to confirm your funding arrangement. 

• Once you have fully enrolled you will be given access to systems such as timetables and the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). This access will be activated approximately 48 hours after enrolment.
• If you require a password reset for any reason you will be required to verify your identity using photo ID. Preferably this would be done in person at the HUB or IT support desk. If that is not possible a video call can be instigated via WhatsApp on 0141 848 3998

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENROLMENT

As part of the online enrolment process, we require you to enter your term-time address in the UK. If you have not yet entered the UK, you may not know your term-time address and we will accept you entering the UWS campus address where your programme is taught. You can find campus addresses here.

Once you have entered the UK, you will be required to update this address. You will also be required to provide the original of your passport and BRP once you have arrived in the UK. We will give you the details of where and when this can be done in due course.

If you already have your BRP, please email a scanned copy to enrol@uws.ac.uk quoting your Student ID.

If you enrol but your Tier 4 Visa application is unsuccessful, please contact our International Student Advice Team by emailing Internationaladvice@uws.ac.uk for more information.
