Registration and Course Administration

Information on how to become a registered student is available on the registration pages of the New Student Website. 

Every continuing or returning student must re-register at the start of each new academic year by following the steps below.

• Step 1 - Online Registration (available here)
  To confirm your personal, financial and academic details (preferably, before you arrive).
   
• Step 2 - Diagnostic Test(s) (more information on the MyCurriculum pages).
  For some degree programmes (eg French, Hispanic Studies), and to be able to take certain courses (eg counselling skills, mathematics), there are diagnostic tests to help you choose the correct course for your level of knowledge and experience. Tests are taken online and should be taken before choosing your courses.
   
• Step 3 - Choose your courses 
  To confirm your academic curriculum. For details on how to choose your courses, please check the MyCurriculum webpages for further information and important dates. Exchange students will choose their courses with their Go Abroad Tutor.
   
• Step 4 – Choose your Tutorials and Download your Timetable 
  Once your course choices are confirmed, you will be able to choose your tutorials, practicals and labs (where applicable) online using MyTimetable and then download your personalised timetable. Further information is available on the MyCurriculum webpages. Exchange students will be able to access this after they have chosen their courses.
   
• Step 5 - University Orientation
  Continuing students should undertake the University's Orientation programme, which acts as a reminder on all of the essential information you will need to prepare for and commence your student life.
   
• Step 6 - Visa checks (relates only to Tier 4 students, or those with a new visa)
  Continuing students will be emailed with information on the time and place of the next visa check. Further information is available at Tier 4 and Immigration.

Postgraduate research students are required to re-register by the start of each academic year on 1 October.  Research students must complete Online Registration in order to remain registered and will be contacted at their University email address in mid-August to invite them to re-register.

Re-registration is vital to ensure continued registration for the degree and access to University facilities.
