In-person enrolment

In-person enrolment

When and where to enrol when you arrive on campus

Enrol in person and collect your campus card at the Carrington Building student helpdesk from Monday 03 February.  The helpdesk is open Monday to Friday from 10am until 4pm.

You will have completed all steps of your enrolment once you have collected your Campus Card. You will then receive access to your university IT Account, emails, Wi-Fi and the student app.

If you are required to print letters which will confirm your student status or help you to open a student bank account our team can help you with this.

What to expect 

  • At In-person enrolment you will have an ID check done. If you are a non UK/Irish national you will also have your permission to study in the UK check done, this is usually done by checking your visa or Immigration permission documents. We may also have to take a copy for your record.  
  • Once your ID & visa check is completed, providing all online enrolment sections have been completed you can then collect your University of Reading Campus Card 
  • The next step will be to log back into RISIS to collect your University username. Once you have your University user name, you will then be able to use this to access Wi-Fi, University email account, the student app and your timetable.
  • Download a map of Whiteknights campus and you can also access all maps digitally once your logged into the student app.
