You must enrol before the start of your course to become a member of the University, activate your IT/Library account, and release your student loan funds.
If you are a new student, you will complete two stages of enrolment (both online). All the instructions and links you will need to enrol will be emailed out to you.
Continuing students can enrol through the student homepage once enrolment opens.
New students
What do I need to enrol?
Before you start the enrolment process, you will need:
A digital copy of your ID (either a photo or scanned copy)
A suitable head and shoulders profile picture of yourself. This will be used on your student record and printed on your Unicard
We will send you an enrolment invite email before your course starts, which will contain a link to our enrolment portal, along with your username and temporary password. Simply log in and follow the onscreen instructions.
Once you have clicked through all the screens in the enrolment portal, uploaded your images and submitted your enrolment, we will then check your ID and profile picture are suitable. If they are, we will authorise them and email you instructions for stage two.
Stage two
You will need to do stage two when you first arrive on campus, either when you move into halls (if living on campus), or at your induction (if commuting).
Follow the instructions in your stage two email, which we will send 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 Wi-Fi
• open the stage two email we will have sent you
• 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.
You will not be enrolled as an Edge Hill student or receive your loan money until you have completed both stages of enrolment.
Enrolment for continuing students will go live from 5 September 2023. You will be sent an email with enrolment information nearer the time, so keep an eye on your inbox.
If you had outstanding referred or deferred assessments to complete in August 2023 you will only be able to enrol if you pass these assessments. Your re-assessment results will be published in September 2023 and if these confirm you have passed the year or can continue with outstanding module(s) you can access the re-enrolment portal from 1pm on Friday 22nd September 2023.
The ability to enrol is dependent on an assessment board confirming your progression to next year. If you think you still have modules outstanding or have queries on reassessment, contact the assessment team for more information.
If you think it might be a fee issue, such as outstanding payments from previous study at Edge Hill, contact the fees team to find out more: [email protected].
You will not receive your Student Finance until you have enrolled in full.
Students returning from interruption or starting a repeat year who have outstanding conditions such as DBS or Occupational Health check will not be able to re-enrol online and will be emailed separate re-enrolment instructions.
Students starting their first year again
If you are an undergraduate student who will be starting your first year again, having successfully applied to repeat the year, or are returning from interruption back into first year, enrolment will go live for you on 1 September.
You will be sent an email with enrolment information nearer the time, so keep an eye on your inbox.
New students at Edge Hill University receive a Unicard during their induction, or if you are living in halls, when you arrive on campus.
This card is your University identification and provides easy access to services across campuses. Please treat your Unicard with care so that you can use it for the duration of your programme.
Your Unicard enables you to:
Borrow items from any Edge Hill University Library
Have 24/7 access to PCs in the Catalyst
Misplaced or lost unicards
If your Unicard is lost, stolen or misused, please let the Facilities Management team know as soon as possible.
You are able to order a replacement card from the Facilities Management team, however, a fee applies.
Third party confirmation
If a prospective employer needs confirmation that you studied here and the dates you attended, we can provide this information, please email: [email protected].
If a third party needs to verify an Edge Hill University award, they must submit their request through Prospects Hedd online verification service. Further information can be found here.
Personal and Academic references requiring feedback on performance, attendance, integrity or course hours should be submitted to your Personal Tutor or course leader.
We can only provide general references confirming course dates and confirmation of registration. For more detailed references contact your department.

For professional references for a teaching appointment or detailed programme confirmation letter to teach internationally, please contact the relevant team:
Once you have followed the steps a certificate will be emailed to your Edge Hill email account. This certificate will act as proof of your enrolment on your course and can be submitted to your Local Authority for Council Tax exemption.
Certificates are valid for one academic year only and you must reapply at the start of each term.
Certificates will only be available from the first teaching week of term and this will differ depending on the term dates of your programme.
If you need confirmation of your student status or term dates for a prospective employer, bank or other entity, you can request a Confirmation of Student Registration Certificate.
This certificate will act as proof that you are fully registered on your course and will be valid for the current academic year.
You can apply for a certificate through the student homepage:
Let us know if you’d prefer to come pick it up in person, or if post works better for you.
Please include as much information as possible and send all requests from your Edge Hill email address.
Setting up your email
It is essential that you set up your Edge Hill email account. After your initial enrolment invite, all further messages from us will be sent to your Edge Hill email address.
Use the username and password you were sent in your enrolment invite to log in and set your email up. You can then log in to check your emails through the student homepage by clicking the ‘Email’ icon.
We recommend that you check your Edge Hill Email account on a daily basis.
If your password doesn’t work when trying to log in, let the Catalyst team know and they will reset it for you.
Get your Edge Hill emails on your phone
To receive your University emails on your phone or tablet, download the Microsoft Outlook app from the Google Play Store (Android) or from the App Store (Apple).
Once you have downloaded it, open the app and it will prompt you to add your email account using your student number login and your password.
The app will then ask you to log in again, this time to Edge Hill’s own Outlook server. Once you have done this it will add your inbox to your mobile device.
Forwarding your emails

Parking on the Ormskirk campus is free of charge for eligible students and staff – all you’ll need is your permit clearly displayed.
There are often busier periods and events on campus, so the car park can get pretty full, so do bear this in mind when planning your journey to campus.
We encourage Sustainability at Edge Hill, so take some time to consider the alternative modes of transport where you can. As we’re big on sustainability, if you’re happy to carshare with other eligible students or staff, we’ll guarantee you a parking space.
There’s some local council owned parking facilities nearby too.
Parking permits
Permits do not guarantee a parking space
Permits must be displayed at all times when parking at Edge Hill and failure to display a valid permit may result in access to the car park being refused.
Aintree University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust currently charge for parking – please ensure that you pay and display when parking at Aintree.
There are currently no Edge Hill parking facilities at the Manchester campus.
You can request a parking permit from Monday 5 September 2022.
