Steps to become registered

  1. Find your login credentials:
    Check your personal email for a message titled “Access to your student account”. This contains your university login credentials.

    Note: these are not the same as your application login details
  2. Set up password:
    Follow the instructions in the email to set up your University password and gain access to your University accounts and services.
  3. Complete multi-factor authentication:
    To keep your account secure, you'll need to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is the best way of keeping your account and your work secure and safe.

    You'll only have to authenticate for University services when you're off campus. To register your devices for MFA and to find out more about it, visit the student MFA page.

Before you begin, please have the following to hand:

  • your offer letter
  • valid photo ID (such as your passport)
  • your tuition fee payment details (for example, debit card, bank details, or sponsor documentation)

You can complete registration through StrathApp or Pegasus. We recommend using StrathApp for the best experience.

Open StrathApp and select 'Register Now' to access Pegasus, or sign in to Pegasus directly.
