If you are a current University student, please can you contact us by emailing: studentrecords@hud.ac.uk for all correspondence via your University email account. Due to the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) we will only be replying back to you through your University email. This will safeguard your data and information.
Re-registration
It’s important to re-register as a student at the start of each year of your course. This confirms that you are still studying with us and ensures that you receive your finance on time.
You can re-register online using the Student Hub. This is available from 1st August onwards each year for most students. We will email you in advance to let you know how to do this.
Please note that any financial support can only be paid to you after term officially starts regardless of whether you complete your re-registration before this. However, completing your re-registration in good time helps to ensure there are no delays in the release of any money you are due to be paid by Student Finance England (or Student Awards Agency Scotland or Student Finance Wales).
Change of personal details
You can keep your home or contact address up to date by logging on to MyHud.
It is very importnat that we have your up to date current name as this will be printed on your graduation certificate. Please email studentrecords@hud.ac.uk with any change of any name documents including gender identity changes.
