Practical checklist
Step 1
Register for your course
An invitation to register for your course online will be sent from 23 August 2022. This includes instructions on how to register via myHub before you arrive and the information you will need to complete this. If you applied through an international representative, we will send this email to your personal email address - not your representative. It only takes 20-30 minutes to register and includes paying for, or telling us how you intend to pay for, your tuition fees. It will also give you access to your BU student email address and Brightspace, your Virtual Learning Environment (VLE).
Step 2
Log in to Brightspace
Once you’ve completed your online registration, you will be able to access Brightspace, BU’s virtual learning environment (VLE)v. It will be essential to you throughout your time as a BU student, so please log on as soon as possible. brightspace.bournemouth.ac.uk On Brightspace you will find important information to help you prepare for the start of term, general course information and activities to complete before you arrive. Brightspace also has a mobile app called Pulse which can help you keep track of important announcements, deadlines and grades. Find out more about this on page 25 or at www.bournemouth.ac.uk/pulse
Step 3
Complete your online enrolment
After completing your online registration, you will receive an email invitation to enrol onto your course. This is when you will officially become a BU student. You must complete your online enrolment before the start date of your course, which in most cases is 19 September 2022. Information about the documents required to enrol will be in your registration email. These details can also be found on our registration and enrolment webpages. www.bournemouth.ac.uk/arrivals/register
Step 4
Log in to Brightspace to check detailed course information
Approximately one week before your teaching begins your unit information will become available on Brightspace. This is how you’ll find out about any lectures taking place during your induction week as well as lots of other detailed information about your course. brightspace.bournemouth.ac.uk
Organise your finances
If you haven’t already done so, apply for any student loans, maintenance grants, bursaries and scholarships you may be eligible for.
