Registering at the University
Registration is the formal process where you register as a student with Edinburgh Napier. Before you start at the University, you'll need to complete this online.
We'll send you an email in December/January to your personal email account which will ask you to create your Edinburgh Napier password and set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for all of our IT and Library Services. Once you've done this, you'll be able to access the link to fully register as a student online.
