International students must complete a two step enrolment process. If you have a student visa, you must ensure that you complete your enrolment before your enrolment deadline, stated on your CAS. Please do try to enrol as near to your course start date where possible.  

Information on the enrolment process for all students, information on late enrolment and annual re-enrolment can be found here.

All students enrolling at Northumbria University must supply evidence of their current status in the UK. Enrolment is subject to terms stated in the University Compliance Protocol.

How to enrol

You will be sent details via email when you are able to pre-enrol on your course. This will give you all the information that you need to enrol. Please do not try to enrol before you have received the notification that you can pre-enrol.

You must log onto your Student Portal and click on the ‘enrol’ button. 

Step 1: Pre-registration. You must complete pre-registration and this can be completed from your home country. Please follow the steps on the ‘enrol’ button and provide all of the information requested.  

Step 2: Visa verification. You must upload visa documents as soon as you arrive in the UK. You are not fully enrolled until you have provided your visa documents and they have been verified.

Once you have completed step 1 and step 2, you will receive a confirmation of enrolment and a visa verification email. Once your visa verification is complete, you will receive information on how and where to collect your University student smartcard. Please refer to our BRP webpage for further information on how and where to collect your BRP from.
