Enrolment for new students

Monday 7 October 2024 is the final deadline to complete your enrolment. You must have a student visa, have entered the UK on your student visa and be able to attend our Marylebone Campus in person on Monday 7 October before we close.

You must have all the documents required to confirm your identity and your right to study in the UK available on the 7 October.

If you know that you will not receive your visa on time to travel and attend our enrolment centre on the final day, contact your admissions officer who may be able to offer you a place during our next intake period.  You can request to defer your entry up to the deadline dates listed below.

We send the enrolment emails after we've received confirmation of your results and your fee assessment form.

If you've not yet received your email, get in touch with our Student Centre at [email protected] or use the live chat on the Support and services page.

For information on setting up your password and how to get help logging in, visit our Applicant Portal page. 

In the Applicant Portal, you'll be asked to select the course that you're going to enrol on. If there are two, just choose the one you want to take – the other course will be removed. 

If you're unable to attend the time slot for your course, you'll have further opportunities to collect your ID card and complete enrolment in the first and second teaching weeks of term.

How do I pay my fees?

If the Student Loans Company will be paying your fees, you'll have the chance to upload your confirmation letter in the Applicant Portal.

If you're a self-funding student and you have not already paid your fees online, please complete payment as soon as possible.

For full details, including a secure payment link, information on instalment agreements and sponsorship, please visit our Paying your fees page or email us at [email protected]. 

I've not yet heard if I've got a student loan, can I still enrol?

Yes, but it's very important to be aware that if your loan application is refused, you will need to pay the fees yourself.

If you have any queries or concerns about this, contact our Student Centre Team at [email protected] or use the live chat on the Support and services page.

I don't yet have my payment details in place. Can I still enrol?

Yes, but once you have submitted your enrolment details you will receive a message saying you now need to pay. You can pay securely online.

'Debtor Hold' is displayed in the Applicant Portal and I cannot complete my enrolment. What should I do?

Your tuition fees need to be paid when you enrol, but if you are experiencing difficulties financing your studies, get in touch with our Student Centre Team at [email protected] or use the live chat on the Support and services page.

I have another question about fees or funding. Where can I get help?

You can find further information on our Fees and funding page, or contact our Student Centre Team at [email protected] or use the live chat on the Support and services page.

When you've completed enrolment, you'll be able to use our self-service system to request an official letter confirming your student status.

Find out more on our Official letter requests page.

You should update your details through My Student Record.

Note that if you need to change your name, you'll have to provide relevant evidence to our Student Centre Team at [email protected].

You may see your enrolment status referenced in emails and on the Applicant Portal – see the descriptions below to understand what each status means. 

At each stage of the enrolment process, we’ll let you know what you need to do.  

'Not enrolled'

You'll have this status after submitting your information in the Applicant Portal. This status means that your enrolment is in progress – we still need to check your information and, in some cases, invite you to an enrolment session on campus. 

'Temporarily enrolled'

You may have this status if you still need to show us your ID, visa or related documents. We'll let you know what we need from you. With this status, you'll still have access to our campuses, services, support and online systems.

'Fully enrolled'

You have completed your enrolment and you are an official student at the University of Westminster. You now have access to all our services, support and resources.

If you have the status of 'Temporarily enrolled' and need to show us additional documents (eg your birth certificate, National Insurance number or Biometric Residence Permit), you can bring these to a late enrolment session on campus during teaching weeks one and two. Details will be added on this page nearer the start of term.

Alternatively, you can upload your documents in My Student RecordGo to My Student Record on SRS web page. We'll then complete your enrolment from Temporarily to Fully Enrolled.

If you're a new student and you want to transfer course or withdraw, get in touch as soon as possible with our Student Centre Team at [email protected] or use the live chat on the Support and services page.
