NOW LIVE myUK Student Preview
Overview
Welcome to the Student Preview for the new myUK portal! We invite you to use the new myUK portal like you would the current myUK portal. Your insights and feedback will play a crucial role in enhancing the portal for all students.
Here’s some things to know:
- This Preview is considered pointed production, meaning any functions performed in the Preview of the new myUK portal are live. For example, if you drop a course in the new portal, you will actually be unenrolled from that course.
- You can submit any feedback or issues you encounter in our Student Preview Feedback/Issue Tracking form.
