Enrolment

All students must be enrolled in order to study at Northumbria. All students are required to enrol annually and agree to the University terms and conditions. Home students can complete their enrolment process online. Students requiring a Right to Study check (mostly International students) must undertake a two-step enrolment process.

New students should see their relevant Getting Started at Northumbria page for details of the enrolment process. Returning students should re-enrol via the Student Portal. 

Arrangements regarding Smartcard collection are updated on a regular basis, you are advised to visit your Student Portal for the latest information.

Enrolling on time

New students must arrive and enrol by their course start date, as stated in your offer letter, and attend all course induction activities.

Failure to enrol on time will result in your record being closed for non-enrolment, leading to losing access to university systems.

To inform or discuss any enrolment concerns with us, please submit an enquiry via the Understanding the enrolment process article on your Student Portal. If you do not have access to your Portal, please use this contact form.

Re-enrolment

  • Returning students should re-enrol annually before any scheduled learning activities.
  • Re-enrolment is available from the start of the new academic year for students who have successfully completed the previous year of study, including any resits.
  • Re-enrolling confirms your student status for financial support and ensures continued access to university systems and services.
