Student and ARU Staff accounts


Student and Tutor accounts are created by the HeMS ePAD team. If you do not have an account, and think that you should, please raise a ticket with the ePAD helpdesk.


Your ePAD account uses the same username and password as your other university systems, this means that when you click on ARU Students and Staff you should automatically be logged in.



Practice Assessor, Practice Supervisor, and Practice Educator accounts


Students should, in their first meeting with their Practice Assessor, Supervisor, or Educator, submit a relevant Allocation form and they should do this in the presence of the Assessor, Supervisor, or Educator so that the practice partner staff member can correctly enter their name and email address.

Once this has been submitted an ePAD account is automatically created for the Assessor, Supervisor or Educator (if they don't already have one) and their account will be linked to the student giving them direct access when they login.


If, as a Practice Partner staff member, you didn't receive an email to verify your address and set up your account, and providing an Allocation form has been submitted, you can activate your account on the website.


Navigate to ARU HeMS ePAD Login


On the welcome page will be the text 'Activate your account':



On the next page enter your email address and click 'Activate your account':



You will receive an email with a verification link, click that link to verify, then, when prompted, enter a new password in 'New Password' and repeat in 'Confirm New Password', then click 'Create':


The screen will refresh and you'll be taken to the sign in page:


Enter your 'Sign in name' which is your email address, then enter your 'Password' and click 'Sign in'


Practice Partner staff who already have a validated account, should login by clicking 'Other Users':



Then enter your work email, which should be the same as the one submitted by the student on the Allocation form, followed by your password.
