To ensure you have completed enrolment correctly, you must set up your Edge Hill University email account. You will need it to access all further Edge Hill emails, including your confirmation of enrolment email.
Log in using your Edge Hill username (which is your 8-digit student number) and password.
You will have been sent these in the email sent to your personal email account. You can also set up your Edge Hill emails to be received through your phone by downloading the Outlook app.
If you have any problems logging into your email account, contact Library and Learning Services ([email protected]). You can also reset your password.
A delay in enrolling may result in you being unable to access University facilities and a delay to your first student loan payment (if applicable).
If you need help with any stage of the enrolment process please get in touch:
Once you have submitted your stage one enrolment, the Enrolment team will need to verify your photo and ID. Once these have been approved, we will send you a confirmation email with stage two instructions to your Edge Hill email account (make sure you set this up before you get here).
Stage two is really simple. All you need to do is:
arrive on campus
log onto the Eduroam WiFi
open the ‘Stage two: Next steps’ email sent to your Edge Hill email account
follow the link in the email and click the ‘login to enrol online’ button.
This will complete your enrolment. Your student finance will then be released after the start date of your course.
Please note, you should only arrive on campus when it is your move in date (if living in halls) or your scheduled induction (if commuting).
