Enrolment and Timetabling

Yes! All students starting a new programme of study are required to complete online enrolment.

During online enrolment you will be guided through a series of screens. You'll be asked to confirm your personal details, you'll find information about your tuition fees (if applicable) and you'll upload a photo for your Student ID Card.

You'll receive an email from us inviting you to enrol online.  In this email we’ll provide you with your username and password. The email will be sent to the correspondence email address you provided at the point of application.

For UK students, other visa types and European Students.

You will need:

• Your Staffordshire University student ID number, which can be found on any formal email correspondence from the University.
• A digital photograph for your Student ID Card (maximum file size 10MB and it can be any of BMP; GIF; JPEG; JPG; PNG.) 
• Two forms of ID.  One must be your passport, birth certificate or Biometric Residence Permit and the other could be be a driving licence, National identity card, College ID card, bank card, or utilities bill (which includes your name and address).  All students are expected to provide at least one form of photo ID. 
• Unless you are paying your own fees, you will need to provide your account details (in order for the University to make any payment to you that you may be eligible for).
• A valid credit/debit card to arrange payment of your fees (this will only be required if you are liable to pay fees or are waiting for your student finance to be confirmed).
• Please note that if you have a sponsor other than Student Finance England, you'll need to upload a sponsorship letter as proof when you complete the tuition fee stage. If you have difficulty doing this, please email your letter to income@staffs.ac.uk
• EU/EEA students with a UK domicile will be asked to provide your EU settlement code

Please ensure you have the ID ready face-to-face appointment on campus.  If it is that you don’t have the ID that you uploaded (for example, you uploaded your passport and have had to send it off for you student loan application or don’t have it with you), please contact AskSaAS@staffs.ac.uk rather than book an appointment.  If you know you’ll have the ID within a couple of days, please book an appointment when you know you will have it with you.  Otherwise, colleague at AskSaAS@staffs.ac.uk will advise you.

All new and returning students must first complete on-line enrolment.

If you’re a new student, the next stage will be face-to-face enrolment. At your face-to-face enrolment session, we'll check to ensure that you have completed all the steps in the on-line enrolment process, we'll also verify your identity and nationality and check that your personal details are correct

If you have any issues or concerns, please contact us via AskSaAS@staffs.ac.uk   At your face-to-face enrolment session, we'll check to ensure that you have completed all steps in the online enrolment process, and we'll verify your identity and nationality. 

Continuing students who have student loans do not need to attend face-to-face enrolment to have their student finance activated. As long as you have enrolled online, we will activate your finance payments in the first week of term.  

As part of the online enrolment process, you'll be asked to upload a photo of yourself for your Student ID Card.

You're encouraged to complete this step as early as possible so that we can have your Student ID Card ready when you arrive.

You'll be notified of where and when to collect your Student ID Card at your face-to-face-enrolment or through your course area.

You’ll be given your student card when you do face-to-face enrolment. If for some reason it is not ready, provided we have your photo on record, we can produce one while you wait.

International students

During International Enrolment, you will be required to present your passport and BRP (Biometric Residence Permit)/Visa (or collect your BRP from us if you have requested it is delivered to the University), as well as the certificates listed in your CAS and offer letter. You are advised to attend the International Welcome activities which will explain the responsibilities that are associated with your new visa.

Most of the sessions and activities in the international programme are designed to help you adjust to life in the UK, meet other new students and inform you of the ways in which the university can support you. Once you have completed all the required steps, you will be able to book a timeslot to finish your online enrolment and collect your student card. The time and location will be communicated to you beforehand. 

If you are taking out a student loan and have your payment notification letter, please have it with you.  If this hasn’t arrived or you don’t have the letter with you, please don’t worry and do go ahead with booking the enrolment slot.

If you have legally changed your name, you will need to email your deed poll document or marriage certificate to studentconnect@staffs.ac.uk.
