Technical Guide
If you're having any technical problems with your application you can use this guide to help you find the solution.
Creating an application
Create a new account online through our application portal. You can access your account at any time, saving your application as you go. After you submit your application you can track the progress of your application too.
You will need to create a password and profile when you register. There are a few rules though you need to bear in mind when you enter a password:
- must be at least 9 characters
- must contain characters from at least 3 of the following: uppercase (for example: A); lowercase (for example: a); digit (for example: 1) and non-alphanumeric (for example: ?!&)
To create your profile you'll also need to enter your:
- first name
- surname name
- date of birth
If you're a current Newcastle University student, you must use your 8 character Student Portal login and password. This does not apply to INTO, NUIS, and NUMed students.
