In-person enrolment

Enrol for your course

You should have already completed your online enrolment and paid your fee liability before you arrive. If you haven’t please do this first. If you need assistance with online enrolment, please go to the IT helpdesk on the 1st floor in the Library. Report to the Library desk to be given entry.

It's important that you complete in-person enrolment when you arrive on campus.

If you are an International student and require a Visa/ID check, head to Philip Lyle Building from 9:30 to 4pm (Monday to Friday)

Please make sure you bring with you:

Your passport/travel document - If your passport was not stamped when you entered the UK we will also need evidence of your travel (boarding card, ticket, travel booking). This can be hard copy or shown on your phone or electronic device. If you are unable to bring any of the required evidence, please contact the International Student Advisory team before travelling to University for advice on what alternative documents may be accepted.

Evidence of current Immigration permission - in the form of a Share Code generated for verification.
If you are an international student studying on a student route visa you must arrive and complete your in-person enrolment by the date specified on your Confirmation for Acceptance to Study (CAS). Your arrivals checklist provides further information.
If you are unsure if you will be able to do this by the deadline, please contact Admissions to discuss your options, for Undergraduate applicants: ugadmissions@reading.ac.uk and for Postgraduate applicants: pgadmissions@reading.ac.uk.

Collect your Campus Card

International students - Once you have completed your Visa/ID check and your fee liability has been met, your next step is to collect your Student Campus Card.

Home/UK students - Once you have completed online enrolment, your next step is to collect your Student Campus Card.
All students will need to bring a form of photo ID such as a passport, driving licence, provisional licence.

After collecting your campus card, please login to RISIS to collect your IT username. You will then be able to access your university IT account, campus Wi-Fi (Eduroam) and the UoReading student app. Visit the DTS Student Hub for all the information on getting you connected.
