Getting started

You'll receive an email letting you know when online registration has opened for your course.

If you are a new student, you will need to create a Bath Spa online account using your six-digit student number. You will use this account to log in to all BSU online platforms, including online registration, so it's important that you make a note of your login details.

As part of this process, you'll be asked to set up the Self Service Password Reset Tool. The tool will give you the ability to change your password from anywhere at any time.

Next, you'll need to log in to the online registration portal using your six-digit student number (this acts as your username) and the password you chose when creating your account.

If you need help with your online registration, please read through the FAQs and watch our handy video tutorial.

Check your enrolment arrangements. Once you've completed your online registration, you should receive confirmation that you've successfully enrolled with the University.

You'll need to complete your enrolment in order to have access to University online services and to ensure you are eligible to attend teaching.

Once you've created an account in online registration, you can read up on the modules you'll be studying (please create an account in online registration first to access this page).

You'll be automatically enrolled on your core, compulsory modules, but you may have some optional modules to pick too.

Your module timetable containing your core, compulsory modules will be made available to you before the week commencing 6 February. Instructions will be sent via email, and instructions on how to access your timetable will also be provided during your first introductory week. For the first weeks of your course, you'll only be attending your core, compulsory modules.

If you do have optional modules to pick, you'll be talked through this process by both the Timetabling team and Course Leader during your initial introductory week, and you'll be given further guidance by your tutors in your first lessons for your core, compulsory modules. Your optional modules will then be added to your timetable after you have made your selections, ready for when lessons for these modules begin.

If you have any questions, please raise an inquiry via MyServices (please create an account in online registration first to access this page).
