How to
Get your username & password

To register online you need a University of Sussex username and password which you can collect using your student candidate number. This number is emailed to new students on 1 September for courses starting in September and approximately 2-3 weeks before the start of your course at other times of the year.

When you collect your username and password, you will also receive your University of Sussex email address and we will assume that you have read and agreed to the University Regulations for the Use of Computers and Computer Networks.

PLEASE NOTE: If you already have a sussex account please go direct to the registration pages to complete re-registration for this year, and login with your sussex username and password. You do not need to collect your username again
