You need to register as a new student at the start of your course and re-register at the beginning of each academic year. This confirms your intention to study and provides access to university services, buildings, Moodle, your timetable, funding (if applicable) and more.

New students

You must complete online and in-person registration. How you complete you in-person registration will depend on your nationality.

If you are starting your course not on a University of Nottingham site/campus, you will need to complete virtual in-person registration.

If you are undertaking a course part-time or through distance-learning, you will only be required to complete online registration.  

Once you have completed all parts of your registration you will receive an email to your university email account to confirm your registration is complete within 24 hours (excluding weekends).

Your registration deadline will depend on your course and start date. If you do not complete registration by your deadline or inform us that you wish to defer or withdraw, your record will be closed, and you may not be able to join the university. See the section below on registration deadlines.

 

Returning students

If you are an existing student returning to your course, you only need to complete online registration. This needs to be done as soon as possible to avoid delays with your funding at the start of term (if applicable). 

Once you have completed your online registration you will receive an email to confirm your registration is complete within 24 hours (excluding weekends).

If you do not register by your deadline, you will be suspended from your studies and may lead to being withdrawn from the univeristy. See the section below on registration deadlines.
