You will enrol in two stages, both online. Stage one before you get here and stage two when you arrive on campus, or at one of our partner colleges- either to move into halls, attend your scheduled induction or commence your course. Stage one involves submitting your personal information, a copy of your ID ad uploading a suitable (passport-style) profile picture. When you have completed stage one, you will be sent an email about stage two that contains a link. When you arrive on campus or at one of our partner colleges you need to log onto the Wi-Fi on your mobile device (or campus PC) and open this link to complete your enrolment.

All the instructions you will need to complete your enrolment will be emailed to you. Make sure to check your inbox (and junk) regularly. Please note, once you have finished stage one, all further emails from us will be sent to your Edge Hill account. It is essential that you set your account up as soon as possible.

Stage two is really simple. All you need to do is:

• arrive on campus or partner college

•log onto the Eduroam Wi-Fi or partner college Wi-Fi

•open the ‘stage two-next steps’ 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 and release your student finance.

You will be able to complete stage one once your status on UCAS has changed to Unconditional Firm (UF) and you have received the stage one enrolment email.

You will then finalise your enrolment by doing stage two when you arrive at Edge Hill (either when you move into your halls if you are living on campus or during your during your induction week if you are a commuting student).

Please note, any delay in you completing your enrolment will delay you getting your student loan.

Once you have completed both stages of your enrolment, you should receive your student loan into your bank account within 3-5 working days from the start date of your course.

If you are a postgraduate student, you may be required to set up a payment plan for your tuition fees before you student finance can be released. Contact [email protected] for more information

If you are returning to Edge Hill having already completed your first or second year, you must enrol online via the student homepage at the beginning of September. We will email you to let you know when you are able to enrol.

If you have any outstanding fees or are waiting on the results of a reassessment, you will not be able to enrol online.

The ability to enrol is dependent on an assessment board confirming your progression to next year. If you think you still have modules outstanding, 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.

If you are unable to log into your student record, contact the Catalyst helpdesk.

It could be that you still have outstanding conditions – we may be waiting on receiving your DBS confirmation or references back (if applicable). To check on the progress of your application, contact the admissions team. We will send you an email with your login details when all conditions of your offer have been met – make sure to check your junk mail.

The system has a 2MB limit, so if your smartphone takes very high-resolution pictures you probably will not be able to upload it. Try changing the settings or using a photo resizing tool.

If you have access to a desktop computer, you can also use that to resize your picture. On a PC, open your image in Paint, click ‘resize’ and reduce the numbers in the horizontal and vertical boxes (for example set them both to 50).

On a Mac, open the image in Preview. Click ‘tools’ and reduce the numbers in the height and width boxes (make sure you have the ‘Scale proportionally’ box ticked). Save your image and check how large it is (right click on the image and select properties) – if it is less than 2MB you can now upload it.

If you are still struggling, contact the enrolment team.

We reject all photos that are not suitable for use on your student card – it must be a passport style photo. If you upload a picture that is blurry, taken on an angle or against a dark background, it will not be accepted. Similarly, if your photo is of you in a group, in a bar, pouting or with a Snapchat filter on, you will be asked to resubmit.

Get it right first time to avoid a delay in your enrolment and you receiving your student finance. More detailed guidelines can be found in the Online Enrolment Guide we will send out to you.

Check you are on the right network (Eduroam) and make sure you are within range of the campus Wi-Fi. If you are studying at one our partner colleges, they may not use Eduroam so you will need to connect to their own Wi-Fi network, ask your college if you are unsure what this is. If you are struggling to complete stage two on your mobile try using a campus computer.

If you have an Android phone you may need to download the right security certificate to connect to the Wi-Fi network securely. Download this and save it to your phone as a Wi-Fi setting so that your phone will recognise the Eduroam network.

More guidance on connecting to the Wi-Fi

If you are still struggling to connect, contact the Catalyst helpdesk.

Some Android phones (particularly Huawei and Samsung) may prompt you to choose different settings when you are trying to connect to the Eduroam Wi-Fi.

If you aren’t sure which settings to select, follow the guidance below.

• EAP Method – Set this to: PEAP

• Phase-2 Authentication – Set this to: MSCHAPv2

• Domain – leave blank

• Identity – Enter your Student ID

• Anonymous Identity – leave blank

• Password – Enter your student password

You should also make sure that you have installed the Eduroam security certificate and saved it as a Wi-Fi setting – this will make sure that your connection with the network is secure.

If you need help with any of the above, contact the Catalyst helpdesk either by email.

Before you arrive on campus for the first time, you must set up your Edge Hill University email account. You will need it to access your stage two email.

This email is important as it contains the link you need to complete your enrolment.

Log in using your Edge Hill username (which is your 8-digit student number) and password. You will have been sent these in the Stage One enrolment email sent to your personal email account.

You can also set up your Edge Hill emails to be received on your phone by downloading the Outlook app. If you have any problems logging into your email account, contact the Catalyst Helpdesk.

Contact the enrolment team if you still need assistance.

To reset your password yourself you can complete the self-service password reset process online. For help with any password issues please contact our Catalyst Helpdesk: [email protected]

Sometimes, there are non-academic entry conditions and/or enrolment reasons that stop students from fully completing their enrolment, such as outstanding DBS, medical clearance or production of immigration documentation (entry clearance and BRP).

The University aims for students to complete their enrolment at the start of their academic year.

Sometimes, there are non-academic entry conditions and/or enrolment reasons that stop them from fully completing their enrolment, such as outstanding DBS or Medical clearance.

The University can allow a student to part enrol to allow them access to University systems and engage with their studies while their outstanding issues are being resolved.

Our part enrolled procedure can be found in our documents section.
