Signing in to your private study workspace
Use Google to return to your account. University-email verification is separate from private study and is only for Premier Lounge admission.
Signing in for the first time:
- 1Use Start your free trial if you are new, or Sign in if you already have an account. Confirm that you are 18 or older.
- 2For signup, choose your actual learner status. UK law students select their university; independent learners do not claim a student affiliation.
- 3Select Continue with Google and use the Google account you intend to keep using for Durmah.
- 4After signing in, complete any required private profile details accurately. Returning members use their existing account and access; signing in does not restart a consumed trial.
- 5Begin in your private workspace. Add study context or permitted materials when useful; university-email pairing is not required for this step.
Your private learner profile records the context you declare. It does not verify university affiliation or grant community access. University-email verification is only for the separate Premier Lounge admission process; follow that area's current availability and admission requirements.
If something goes wrong
- If Google sign-in does not complete, read the message on the sign-in page and retry with the same Google account. Contact support if access remains unavailable.
- If your university is not in the signup list, use the contact link to ask for it to be added. Do not choose a different institution to proceed.
- If your private profile is incomplete or inaccurate, complete or correct it before relying on personalised study context. Contact support if you cannot correct it.
- If you are seeking Premier Lounge admission, follow its separate instructions. A Lounge verification problem does not change the private-study signup requirements.
Ordinary members sign in with Google, so there is no separate Durmah password for this route. If you lose access to your Google account, contact support rather than creating a second Durmah account.

Getting help
Where to go when the manual has not answered your question — and what to include so it gets fixed quickly.
Still stuck?
Ask Durmah — it knows this manual and can point you to the right section. If the manual itself is wrong, out of date or unclear, tell us and we will fix it. Documentation errors are treated as product bugs.
Durmah is an independent study platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of any university. Everything in this manual describes study support for legal education. It is not legal advice. Where this manual and your module handbook disagree, your module handbook is authoritative.
