On first use of the Unity Hub, you will be required to sign into a Unity account. Once signed in, it will also prompt you to install a version of the Unity editor or select a locally installed version.
On university PCs, you will not be able to install a new version of the Unity editor, instead, you will need to select a locally installed version of the editor that has been pre-installed on the PCs.
The easiest way to add the local version of Unity to the Unity Hub is to open the “Unity” application from the start menu which will automatically add the editor to the Unity Hub.
Alternatively, there is a guide below that states how to add the editor to the Unity Hub.
