Register for your course An invitation to register for your course online will be sent from 5 January 2021. 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 to 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. This must be completed by your induction, which is 24 January 2022. Log in to Brightspace Once you’ve completed your online registration, you will be able to access Brightspace, BU’s virtual learning environment (VLE). This will be essential to you throughout your time at BU, so please make sure to log in and explore at brightspace.bournemouth.ac.uk On Brightspace you can find useful information to help you prepare for the start of term, complete pre-arrival activities, view course details and browse student support services on ME@BU. You’ll also be able to access your BU email account. Brightspace can be accessed via its mobile application called Pulse which will help you keep track of announcements, deadlines and grades when on the move. You can download the app for free on both iOS and Android app stores. www.bournemouth.ac.uk/pulse
