All students who need to complete Online Registration will receive an email asking them to do so when necessary. This will be the majority of students, including:
New and returning students
All undergraduate and postgraduate students are required to complete Online Registration for each academic session (September-September) of your programme of study. This includes distance learners, part-time students, and students based off-campus.
Postgraduate Researchers
Postgraduate Researchers in writing-up (Thesis Awaited) need to complete Online Registration each year, including checking and update their contact details.
Students on a year abroad or placement
You'll need to complete Online Registration even though you won't be studying on campus. Register as soon as possible to make sure you have access to the University’s online facilities, including your student email and online Library resources.
If you don't register you may not be covered by the University's insurance policy for students studying abroad, which could potentially have serious consequences.
Presessional Students
Students starting a presessional English course at the Birmingham International Academy (BIA) will need to register for your presessional course before you arrive. At the end of your presessional course, you'll need to complete Online Registration again for your main programme of study.
American loan recipient (Federal and private loans)
Students who've followed the application process to apply for a Federal or private loan will need to complete sections 1-8 of Online Registration. Your tuition fee is automatically credited from each of your loan disbursements. You don't need to enter any funding information. Please contact usloans@contacts.bham.ac.uk if you have any queries regarding US loans.
External Students
Students who are classed as externally registered, for example for the purpose of retaking examinations or a break in your studies, will also need to complete Online Registration for the academic year.
Validated and partner programmes
Most students on programmes delivered with partner institutions or affiliates will need to complete Online Registration, and will receive an email inviting them to do so.
A small number of students will not need to complete Online Registration. If this is the case, you'll receive an email which confirms that you've been registered onto your programme and, if appropriate, will contain your student username and password.
