2. Log into MySR

1. Set up your MyUWSAccount 

You first must set up your MyUWSAccount.

You will need your student number for this step. Your student number appears in your offer email and your Record of Candidature.  

Your MyUWSAccount is a secure online account providing a username and password for access to many UWS services, including MyUWS, student email, MySR, vUWS and Platform Web. We send important information about your enrolment to your student email account, not by post, so it’s important that you check it often.


2. Log into MySR

To access MySR go to MyUWS. You will need to enter your student number and password. Once logged in click on MyStudentRecords (MySR) in the left menu. 

Once in MySR click on the ‘Enrolment’ link listed in the menu on the left of the page. This page will display the steps you need to follow to complete your enrolment.

If you’re accessing MySR from home, you need to be aware that MySR uses pop-up windows. Some browsers and virus protection programs may block these pop-ups. Help with these and other MySR issues can be found on the MySR help page.

 

3. Confirm your personal details

Check that your personal details, including your postal address and contact phone number (especially mobile phone number) are correct in MySR. Add the contact details of your next of kin and someone the University can contact in case of an emergency.

International students must provide a local address as per the requirements of their student visa.

 

4. Complete all online forms 

Instructions will appear on the page regarding how to complete your online forms. You must complete all required forms and steps in sequence. Some pages have help available — look for the red button.

Form 1: Course Details

Click on the check box to confirm your enrolment in the course listed on the screen, then click ‘Confirm’ to move to the next step.

Form 2: Declaration

Make sure you read this declaration carefully, as it outlines your responsibilities as a candidate enrolled at UWS. When you have read the declaration click ‘Confirm’ to move to the next step.

Form 3: Government Statistics

Complete all of the questions in this section. Some fields will already be filled in based on the details you provided in your application. If any information is incorrect or out of date, please update it. Some information such as change of name or citizenship details require documentary evidence to be lodged with Student Central.

You then need to click ‘Confirm’ to move to the next step. 

Form 4: Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF)

This form will only appear for fee paying, Australian citizen, Higher Degree Research students. 

 

5. Confirm your units 

Go to Unit Selection. In the action column click on the box to confirm the unit/s. Click ‘Proceed to Checkout’. 


6. Print your receipt as a record of your enrolment 

Once your enrolment has been confirmed, a receipt of your enrolment will be displayed. Please save and/or print a copy for your records. Your enrolment is now complete. Please remember to log out. 

 

7. Scholarship recipients

This step relates only to candidates who have been awarded a stipend scholarship. You must return the following documents to the Research Scholarships Development Officer:

  • Acceptance of Offer
  • Response to Offer
  • Conditions of Award (two copies)

You must sign and return all four items and enrol before your payments can commence.

 

8. Contact your supervisory panel

You should now contact your supervisory panel to make arrangements to begin with your research. Information, including contact details, is on your Record of Candidature, sent with your Letter of Offer. 

 

9. Get your student ID card

You can get a student ID card from a Student Central at any of our campuses.
