    Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

    The Virtual Learning Environment (known as VISION) provides on-line tailored access to learning
    materials, collaborative areas, forums, electronic submission of coursework and much more.

    You can also access your Heriot-Watt email account from here - this should be checked AT LEAST once
    every week as this is where you will find communication from the University.

    VISION (Virtual Student Information Organisation Network) can be accessed here: http://vision.hw.ac.uk
    and using the username and password noted on the confirmation letter produced at the end of the online
    enrolment process.

    Once you have logged on, you should see all of the courses for which you have enrolled that are running
    in the current Semester, however if it includes courses you have already completed, please ignore these.
    If you do not see a course for which you are enrolled, it may be for one of two reasons:

    1. The course leader has not made their Course available on VISION (contact specific course leader)

    OR

    2. You may not be correctly enrolled for the course (contact the Student Office Team egis-idl-
    enquiries@hw.ac.uk)
