New student enrolment

Enrolment for new students starting in January 2024 opens from Monday 27 November 2023, but you may not be invited to enrol straight away. You're eligible to enrol when you've met all the conditions of your study offer (if applicable) and accepted your place. If you're an international student you'll also need to have paid a deposit towards your tuition fees, and received a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number from us.

When it's time for you to enrol, we'll send an email with instructions on what to do next.

Before you enrol

You must set-up your UAL email and network account before you can enrol.

Once you've accepted your offer to study with us and it's less than 10 weeks before the start date of your course, you'll receive an email asking you to set up and start using your UAL email and network account.

If you've got problems logging in to your UAL email and network account, contact IT Services for help.

How to enrol

Step 1: Online registration

This is where you provide the information we need to enrol you. When uploading documents and images, make sure you add your Student ID number at the start of the file name.

You'll need to prepare (where applicable):

a copy of your passport (or birth certificate if you are a UK national without a passport)
copies of your academic qualifications
copies of your visa and immigration documentation
to pay your tuition fees or provide confirmation of your funding arrangements
a photo for your student ID card.

Step 2: Enrolment confirmation

Once you've submitted your online registration, we'll check your information to make sure we have everything we need to complete your enrolment.

We aim to make all of our checks within 5 working days, but it may take a little longer during busier times. Please be patient. We'll contact you as soon as we can.

If we're able to complete your enrolment, we'll send you an email confirmation.

If anything is missing from your online registration, or something is incorrect - your enrolment will be paused. We'll email you detailing what you must do next. Please check your inbox regularly.

Enrolment deadline

We strongly recommend you submit your online registration as far in advance of your course start date as possible. Any delay could mean we are unable to enrol you before your studies begin.

The deadline to enrol is:

Further Education: 2 weeks after your course start date
Higher Education: 3 weeks after your course start date

Your course start date is when teaching begins for your course. Check our term dates for 2023/24.
