Tier 4 Student Attendance Recording
All students who are sponsored under the UKVI Tier 4 student visa scheme are required to check-in using the SafeZone smartphone App
Please do the following:
- Download the SafeZone app to your smartphone as soon as possible, it is available here: https://www.hw.ac.uk/services/safety-security/safezone.htm
- Register on the app using your Heriot-Watt email address (not a personal email address)
- Tier 4 students are required to use the ‘check-in’ and ‘check-out’ functions at least once each week (except for vacations, placements, authorised absences and certified sickness).
- Students should ‘check-in’ when they arrive at a lecture, tutorial, seminar or other timetabled academic session and ‘check-out’ at the end of that session.
- PGR students can check in and out from their designated desk, office, lab, PGR support office or their supervisor’s office if they don’t have a timetabled session during a week.
- Check your Heriot-Watt email account frequently for further updates and information
Tier 4 attendance recording is an important part of your Tier 4 visa conditions, and checking-in each week demonstrates to UKVI that you are a genuine student and engaged with your studies at Heriot-Watt University. Further information and FAQs are available on the Student Portal.
Change of Course or Programme Transfer
Students can now swap courses through Student Self Service in week 1 of a semester. The courses being swapped must be of the same credit value and you must have met any pre-requisites for the course to be added.
If you need to change a course after that date, or if you need to add or delete a course, please complete the change of course form, have it signed off by either your Year Co-ordinator (undergraduate students) or your Programme Director (postgraduate students) and then return it to the School Office for processing by:
Semester 1 courses: Friday 28 September 2018
Semester 2 courses: Friday 25 January 2019
Please ensure you put the correct course code on the form as that is what is used to change your enrolment, not the course name.
If you are thinking about transferring to another programme of study, please discuss this with your Personal Tutor or Programme Director and then complete the Programme Transfer Application Form.
Student Portal
MyHWU is our new student portal for everything our students need at Heriot-Watt. MyHWU will be the way in which our students access all learning and teaching resources and support services. You can download MyHWU to your phone, tablet from the app store or Google Play or use it on your computer.
