Student Record

Information on student ID cards can be found on the Infohub site including

• Information for new students
• Replacement cards
• Lost cards
• Faulty cards
• Stolen cards

Visiting students invited by Schools for periods of a few weeks to 1 year must be processed via Registry (rather than Human Resources) as honorary visitors.

Visiting student status is open only to those students who wish to use University facilities but who are ineligible to be included on this University's Return to HESA, because either:

• They are not receiving teaching or supervision with the intention of being assessed for formal award of credit which counts towards award of a qualification or
• While receiving such teaching or supervision, they are concurrently registered at another UK HEI. They do not get reported to HESA, and neither the institution nor the Colleges receive funding beyond any fee they may negotiate independently.

Registry levies a Special Registration Fee to cover administration and ID card costs. Read the Guidance Notes before applying.

• Application Form

This form is for students only - visiting staff should contact the Human Resources Office.

The Team also supports a number of other returns, including
