Enrolment and Induction
It is essential that you formally enrol as a student of the University and this will normally take place within the first few days of your course each year. Your Faculty Office will send you information about the arrangements for your enrolment.

For enrolment you will need:

  • Original Birth Certificate or Passport (new students only)
  • University ID card (returning students only)
  • Original certificates or official results notification of ALL qualifications held and listed on your application form (new students only)
  • Payment for course fees, for which you are liable; or a sponsor/LEA letter confirming payment
  • 6 passport sized photographs

At enrolment, you will be asked to complete an enrolment form. On your form you will be asked to provide full details of your legal name, home and term time addresses, all previous qualifications and your
course details. The amount of fees due will already be recorded on the enrolment form. Other personal details will be required for statistical purposes (see the section on the Data Protection Act in "A Student’s Guide to Enrolment and Fee Payment").

If you fulfil all the conditions of enrolment, including payment of your fees you will be fully enrolled as a student of the University and issued with a University ID card, which gives you access to all the University’s facilities.

If for any reason you cannot fulfil all the conditions of enrolment then you will be temporarily enrolled and given a date by which you must complete your enrolment. During this time you will be given restricted access to the University’s facilities. You must endeavour to fulfil the conditions quickly, as in certain circumstances you may be withdrawn.

It is a condition of enrolment that you accept full responsibility for the payment of your tuition fees and any other fees or charges associated with your course. The University's financial terms and conditions are published in "A Student's Guide to Enrolment and Fee Payment." Copies of this booklet can be obtained from Academic Registry, Perry Barr Campus.


Change in Personal Details

The name you have given on your enrolment form will be used for all formal purposes within the University and will be included on any award certificate. You should notify your Faculty Office if you change your name and support this with appropriate documentary evidence.

You are also responsible for notifying your faculty/department/school office of any change in your term-time or permanent home address after enrolment.

Withdrawal from the Course

It is important that if you intend to withdraw from your course after enrolment you must inform either your Faculty Office or Course Director in writing that you wish to withdraw and indicate your last date of attendance. The University is required to notify local education authorities (LEA), the Students Loan Company (SLC) and other awarding bodies of a student’s withdrawal from a course.

Suspending your studies

It is also important to inform your Faculty Office or Course Director if you wish to take a break in your studies. Please do this in writing indicating your last date of study and your intended date of resumption. The University is required to notify the LEA, SLC and other awarding bodies of a student’s interruption of study.

For further information and advice on interruption of study, please contact your Faculty office or the Student Services Department.
