The information on this page is for applicants from the United Kingdom (UK) and those with pre-settled and settled status, and distance learning students.	International students please visit and follow instructions for leaving for the UK. (includes Pre-enrolment instructions).

You’ll be required to confirm your personal details; address, emergency contacts and confirm how you’ll pay your fees. Please ensure your term time and home address details are accurate, failure to do this may result in you missing important communications.  

It’s important that we have a valid email address for you as this is how we contact you. We recommend that you use a personal email account as opposed to a college/school email address which may have expired or be inaccessible. Please note that sometimes our emails divert to your spam/junk folders. To avoid this, you can add our email address to your address book.   

You can update your email address in one of the following ways:

• If you have applied through UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) or DfE Apply for Teacher Training you can update your email address at either UCAS Hub or DfE Apply.
• If you have applied directly to us please email our Student Recruitment Team at study@hud.ac.uk or call us on +44(0)1484 472625 to update your details

You will also be required to upload copies of your valid passport or birth certificate. Failure to do this will delay your enrolment and your student loan. Please note, your student loan should be paid three to five working days after your course has started and you’ve fully enrolled. This is however, on the basis that you have completed your enrolment, as well as submitted and had all your ID verified via MyHud. 

If you experience any issues enrolling, please contact our Student Records Team on +44 (0)1484 473330 or email studentrecords@hud.ac.uk
