Welcome to our new students joining us from January 2025

Congratulations on confirming your place at LJMU and welcome to our student community.

First things first, before you arrive and start your studies in early 2025 there’s a few essential things you must do to officially become an LJMU student.

You must activate your university account, complete your online registration on our My LJMU platform and upload a photo for your student ID card. Check your emails for a message from the Student Registration Team with instructions on how to get this sorted.

We understand that it may seem like there’s a lot to think about, so we’ve put together everything you need to do before you start your studies in one place on our Before You Arrive webpages.

We can't wait to see you soon.

Help with your registration

If you have any problems registering, you can email the Student Registration Team or call 0151 231 3289.

If you are a postgraduate student, who has studied with LJMU before, you can go straight to online registration.

Your IT account and student ID card: Your LJMU IT account is for your use only. During your registration, you will be asked to set a secure password – it’s very important that you set this to something you will remember, as you will need it to access all our IT systems. If you forget your password, you will need some information from your student ID card to reset it, so you must always keep your ID card safe, like you would your bank card – you will need it to access university buildings, use our printers and more.
