Enrolment

Enrolling on your programme is the essential gateway to becoming a Northumbria student - giving you full access to University systems and essential support services. All Northumbria students (both new and returning) must complete the online enrolment task which involves completing a number of sections about yourself, your programme and your needs.

New Students

If you are a new student, you will receive an email inviting you to enrol and you should complete the enrolment task as soon as possible after receiving this. See the relevant Getting Started at Northumbria page for full enrolment and induction information.

International students: If you are a new student who requires immigration permission to enter the UK, you must complete a Right to Study check before you are invited to enrol. Please see our Immigration webpages for details. 

Returning students

You should re-enrol via the Student Portal. 

Watch our short video for an overview of the process and see links to detailed guidance below:

Understanding the Enrolment Process

Step-by-step guidance in your Student Portal

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.

  • 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.
