Uploading your photo
When you register for your course, you'll need to upload a photo of yourself to the system.
How to upload a photo
Click on the Start button next to the Upload Photo registration step
Click on Browse My Computer to find a suitable photo in .jpg format, and with a maximum size of 5MB. An error message will appear if the file you select is not suitable.
If your image is not the correct size, you'll see an error message. Press Edit Image to crop your photo to the correct size.
Use the cropping tool to crop your photograph and press Crop Selection when you have finished.
If the image is the correct size, a green confirmation message will be displayed. Press the Accept button at the bottom of the screen. The status will show as Awaiting Upload. Press the Upload button, and a confirmation message will appear when this has been completed.
Press Continue at the bottom of the screen to move on to other tasks.
You can change your photo at a later date using these same steps.

Applying for extenuating circumstances
If you need to apply for extenuating circumstances, because your assessments have been affected by personal issues, you can do this on Your Student View. You can submit a new extenuating circumstances application or review previously submitted applications there.

Choosing your modules
You'll be contacted by email when it's time to choose your optional modules for the upcoming academic years. For undergraduate students studying full time, this will be around the start of Teaching Block 2. You'll be given a deadline, and if you don't make your choices within the allocated time, you'll be signed up to default module(s).
Once the window for choosing your optional modules is open, you'll be able to access your module option choices by logging into your Student View, and selecting ‘My Option Choices’.
The ‘My Option Choices’ page will display three options:
- Choose your module option choices
- Choose your reserve modules
- Choose your language (not compulsory unless you have opted to study a language module)
Generating University letters
When using student view, you have the ability to generate standardised letters for yourself. These letters include bank letters, confirmation of studies letter and a council tax letter. Please see video below for instructions on how to generate letters.
