Updating My Details

 

When you’ve completed your enrolment/registration, you will have been asked to confirm that the personal and contact details held for you by the University are correct.  You must keep this information up to date, amending such things as your local address and mobile numbers as necessary. 

If the University tries to contact you in line with the details you have provided and you have moved and so miss out on vital information, the University will not accept this as a reason for missing this information.

It’s also important to be sure that your name is recorded correctly on the student record system as the name recorded will appear on your award certificate at the end of your course.  This will be recorded exactly as it appears on the system.  Award Certificates will not be reissued if your name has been incorrectly or incompletely recorded.

To check and update your details please go the University’s Student Homepage and click on MyDetails.
