Complete your online University registration via student self-service You will receive a link to do this via email by the central IT team once your University card form has been processed. Please note, this is a different process from activating your Single Sign-On and email account.

Book an appointment to meet with a member of the Academic Office in person. A link to booking will be emailed to you before you arrive.

Students who require visas: Provide a scan of your passport (and BRP card if applicable) to College. This can be done by securely uploading copies of the documents to our SharePoint site; otherwise it can be completed in person when you arrive.

Sign a printed copy of the college contract, so please do ensure you have read it in advance. Confirm your mobile phone number.

Be given your student (Bod) card. This is used to access all University libraries, paying for food and drink at student rates in Linacre, access to the College, and access to your department. If you have been issued with a temporary fob to access the College buildings you must bring that with you to exchange for your University Card. If you have previously been issued with a University Card (e.g. through your Department or another college) please bring this with you even if it has expired, as we have to take it and destroy it in exchange for your new one.

Students on visas only – If we have collected your BRP card, release it to you and if you have not yet been able to provide a copy of your passport and BRP take copies of these too.
