Self Service Accounts

St. George’s University uses the Banner system to enable you to view schedules, registrar information, and student accounts online in one convenient location through student Self Service.

Your Student ID number, username, and a temporary password will be emailed to the email address once you are accepted. After your SGU e-mail address is activated, this will be where any correspondence from the University will be delivered.

To access Self Service:

• Log in to the student portal The University Portal (the link can be found under the Students tab on the main navigation bar of the website).
• Once you are logged in to the Portal, you can access Self Service by clicking on the icon labeled Student Self Service in the toolbar on the left hand side of your screen. You do not need to log in again to be brought to Self Service.
• The main Self Service page is where you can find and update your personal information. Once you arrive on campus you will be prompted to provide a local address and cell phone number. You will also be able to view financial information, class schedules, and other helpful information.

Orientation is a perfect time to get acclimated to your physical surroundings and to meet other new students, upperclassmen, faculty, and staff. It is a time for making new friends and familiarizing yourself with all the great opportunities that await you.

• Your entire face should be visible in the photo and not obstructed in any way. Please do not wear sunglasses, hats, etc.

• All photos will be subject to review by the University Registrar. If for some reason your photo is rejected, you will receive an email notification asking you to upload another photo that meets the criteria mentioned above.
• Once you have successfully uploaded your photo, you will receive an email confirming your submission followed by a second email letting you know if your photo was accepted or rejected.
• Please note that a successful submission email does not mean that the photo was accepted.

Trinity Square is home to SGU students who study at Northumbria University. This is university-owned accommodation with 24/7 security and a staffed reception, which ensures your safety and support during your first few years in the UK. We strongly encourage SGU students to live in university accommodation during their time at Northumbria University and utilize the support services available to you. From an academic perspective, living near your peers assists in the creation of study groups, cohort bonding, and peer to peer support and care. All SGU students are housed together in specific blocks located in Trinity Square, ensuring you are rooming with peers in your SGU cohort and surrounded by your SGU mentors.

US Citizens and permanent residents of the United States who attend the SGU/NU program will not be eligible to receive USDOE loans throughout their medical education at SGU.
