Returners
Welcome back to the University for the new academic year. The information on this page has been designed to support your return by giving you important information about re-registration.
Re-registration
Re-registration is the process of checking and confirming your personal details via the Student Self-Service facility before you return to start the new academic year. We will email you in early September when re-registration is open and it is important that you act by the given deadline.
If you are returning to your programme at the start of Semester 2 after a leave of absence, we will ask you to re-register in January.
Key points
- Re-registrations after Sunday 29 September 2024 for students returning for Semester 1 will be subject to a late re-registration fee (£100).
- Re-registration is still required if you are starting Part I, even if you are away from campus.
- There are some scenarios in which you will be “blocked” from re-registration (e.g. if you have outstanding financial obligations). When you try to access the re-registration facility, an appropriate message will be displayed which will explain what you need to do to resolve the situation.
- The online facility is available at all times, except between 23.00 and 23.30 BST each day. Please do not attempt to re-register during these hours.
- You do not need to be on campus to access this facility but will need to use MFA. Please be aware that the screens will show your personal data, some of which is potentially sensitive. Please be careful to shield your screen from third parties if you are in a public place.
- If you are expecting a maintenance loan from Student Finance, it is essential that you re-register by Wednesday 25 September 2024 as this is latest day we can confirm your registration to release funds to your bank account for the start of term. The University will continue to confirm registration to Student Finance on a daily basis but this will delay your loan payment.
Right to study checks
Re-registration is an online process and in most cases there is no need to attend any central re-registration event. However, if you have changed your visa since you were last on campus - e.g. you are a Student visa holder returning from a leave of absence - you must book an appointment for a new right to study check.
Replacement ID cards
If you have lost or damaged your student ID card, or your card has expired, you can obtain a replacement from the the Campus Card Desk in , or order one via the CPS online shop. There is a non-refundable fee for replacement cards where the original is lost or damaged.
