New student registration

Term starts on Thursday 03 October 2024.

Online Pre-Registration for courses starting in September and October 2024 opens on Tuesday 03 September.

Please note some courses may have earlier start dates, but you will be advised by your department where this is the case. 

Our Registration Hubs on Colchester and Southend Campus will be open during Welcome Week to enable you to complete your In-Person Registration Appointment.  

There are a number of ways you can prepare for the start of term, including familiarising yourself with the steps needed to complete registration for your course and ensuring these are completed at the earliest opportunity. It is particularly important to complete Online Pre-Registration and make payment of the required tuition fees before term starts and then be on campus, ready to attend your in-person registration appointment (where your registration will be confirmed) at the start of term. 

It is important to note that you should not attend teaching, examinations or submit work until you have completed all required steps for registration (including payment of your tuition fees). This is in line with our Regulations relating to Registration.

Where you are unable to arrive and complete registration by the latest publicised arrival date, you can let us know you would like to request to register late by completing our quick online form. Any decision taken via this process will consider the academic impact of you joining your course late. We will respond as soon as possible within 5 working days with what you need to do next and provide you with options if you will not be able to complete registration with us this term.

Once you've completed all the online steps in our registration process and you've arrived on campus, you'll need to attend an in-person registration appointment.
