Enrol for your course
You should have already completed your online enrolment and paid your fee liability before you arrive. If you haven’t please do this first. If you need assistance with online enrolment, please go to the IT helpdesk on the 1st floor in the Library. Report to the Library desk to be given entry.
It's important that you complete in-person enrolment when you arrive on campus.
If you are an International student and require a Visa/ID check, please go to:
- Carrington Building Reception on Monday 28 September from 10am until 4pm
- Philip Lyle Building from Tuesday 29 September until Friday 16 October
Please make sure you bring with you:
- Your passport/travel document - If your passport was not stamped when you entered the UK we will also need evidence of your travel (boarding card, ticket, travel booking). This can be hard copy or shown on your phone or electronic device. If you are unable to bring any of the required evidence, please contact the International Student Advisory team before travelling to University for advice on what alternative documents may be accepted.
- Evidence of current Immigration permission - in the form of a Share Code generated for verification.
If you are an international student studying on a student route visa you must arrive and complete your in-person enrolment by the date specified on your Confirmation for Acceptance to Study (CAS). Your arrivals checklist provides further information.
If you are unsure if you will be able to do this by the deadline, please contact Admissions to discuss your options, for Undergraduate applicants: ugadmissions@reading.ac.uk and for Postgraduate applicants: pgadmissions@reading.ac.uk.
