We're thrilled that you've chosen to study with us and join our community. This is the start of your journey, and we're here to help you get prepared, enrol, and settle in to life at university.
Enrolment is the most important step to begin your studies.
Until you’re enrolled, you won’t be able to access your course, attend lectures, access learning resources, or receive your User ID and campus card.
Once you’ve met all the conditions of your offer, we’ll send you a Confirmation Letter, usually around a month before your course starts. This confirms your place and explains how to enrol, along with helpful tips on what to expect next.
We recommend enrolling as soon as possible, so you’re set up and ready from day one.
Your timetable will show you everything you need to know about your class schedule.
Once you've completed your enrolment, you’ll receive an induction timetable through the What Next? checklist on e:Vision that you'll follow in your first week.
Your academic timetable will be released around three days after you've completed parts of your enrolment and starts once your induction week finishes.
Your campus card is your university identification card, and you'll need it to borrow books from the library, register your attendance, and access buildings and facilities.
It can even be used for free travel on our Connect Bus and Team Sunderland minibus services.
Enrolling early and before your course start date means you'll have your campus card ready before you arrive on campus.
Once you’ve completed online enrolment, you’ll receive an email with your user account details. This will include your User ID, your student email address and password reset information.
This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours. Once you’ve received this email you can:
Set up a new secure personalised password that you’ll remember
Set up Multi Factor authentication to help keep your account safe
Once you've completed your IT set-up, you'll be able to log in to online resources such as SharePoint to access support services, key information, contact details and much more.
We're here to help you settle into life in the UK and at the University, so we've put together an International Arrival Guide to help you prepare for each stage of your journey.
Before you travel to the UK, it’s important to take some time to read through this guide. It will help you feel fully prepared with information about travelling to the UK, what to expect when you arrive and practical tips such as accommodation options.
