Online registration
All students must complete online registration at the start of each academic year. Find out essential information to help you complete the process.
What is online registration?
Online registration is the process for confirming that you will be studying at the University of Birmingham and by which you agree to abide by the University's regulations. It is an essential step in becoming a student at the University, so you must complete it as soon as possible when asked. You will be required to confirm your personal details, your programme details and other important information.
You will need to have completed online registration before you can begin your programme of study, and to ensure you can access services such as your student email address and the University's virtual learning environment.
How do I access online registration?
Online registration is accessed via the button below. You will need to login using your student username and password. This is sometimes called your ADF login. If you are a new student, you will receive your username and password in the email asking you to complete online registration.
Login using your University username (not your email) and password.
When you have received your password, you can change it to something more memorable using the Password Manager. If you have any problems with your login or password, please contact the IT Service Desk.
*** Registration unavailable 22-25 November ***
Online Registration will be completely unavailable to allow for system maintenance on Saturday 23-Sunday 24 November. If possible, users are advised to not complete registration after Friday 22 November 20:00 (UAE time) as your data may not be saved.
When do I need to complete online registration?
You will need to complete online registration ahead of starting your programme in September. You will receive an email from the University asking you to complete online registration within 7-10 working days once an unconditional accept (UA) has been issued. You should complete online registration as soon as possible when asked to do so.
What is the registration declaration?
When you complete online registration, you will be asked to agree to the declaration. You should make sure you have read and understood the declaration before agreeing to it. You can read the declaration of registration below for the current academic year. You will be required to agree to the declaration to complete your registration.
What am I agreeing to?
Read the following declaration carefully. You cannot become a registered student of the University until you have read and ticked to confirm that you agree to the declaration. The declaration statement provides links to the web pages for the University Charter, Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations and Codes of Practice (including the Conditions of us of Computing and Network Facilities) of the University, the DIAC Code of Conduct (PDF, 537 KB), and to any changes made for the academic year, so that you can view these in full before agreeing to the declaration.
As part of online registration, I have checked and amended where required my Personal Details, Addresses, Emergency Contact Details, Programme Details, Further Details and Data Sharing Agreements and Financial Sponsor Details.
I declare that the information that I have given as part of Online Registration is true and complete. Where there is a ‘prefer not to say’ or ‘information refused’ option, I confirm that by providing an answer I am consenting to you processing that data.

I understand that my registration is not complete until the University is satisfied that the documents I have provided demonstrate that I have the right to study at the University of Birmingham Dubai.
I also promise to respect the University’s values and uphold the University's good name to the best of my ability, both while as a student, and if admitted to a degree, as a graduate.
