Enrolment is the formal process all students go through, each year of study, to register as a student at the University. 

You will receive an email from the University with instructions on how to enrol.

ENROL HERE 

We would encourage you to enrol as soon as possible when you receive this email, to ensure a smooth start to your studies.

Enrolment lets us report to agencies such as Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) and Student Loans Company (SLC), to confirm your funding arrangement. We’re processing enrolments manually this year, and therefore it may take slightly longer than the normal five working days for funds from SLC to reach your account.

Once you’re enrolled, you’ll be contacted directly by your academic school with details of your timetable.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ENROLMENT

As part of the online enrolment process, we require you to enter your term-time address in the UK. If you have not yet entered the UK, you may not know your term-time address and we will accept you entering the UWS campus address where your programme is taught. You can find campus addresses here.

Once you have entered the UK, you will be required to update this address. You will also be required to provide the original of your passport and BRP once you have arrived in the UK. We will give you the details of where and when this can be done in due course.

If you already have your BRP, please email a scanned copy to enrol@uws.ac.uk quoting your Student ID.

If you enrol but your Tier 4 Visa application is unsuccessful, please contact our International Student Advice Team by emailing Internationaladvice@uws.ac.uk for more information.
