Key dates for the diary
Teaching for most courses will begin from 27th January. For most students, course induction sessions will take place during week commencing 20th January and week commencing 27th January. During these sessions, you'll meet your course staff, new classmates and find out everything you need to know about what you’ll be working on during the semester.
Complete your enrolment and attend induction
Before enrolling, ensure your contact details are up to date on UCAS so that you will receive emails from us. If you made a direct application, any updates can be send using our enquiry form. Don’t forget to quote your LSBU ID number.
There are a few things you will need to do before attending your induction and the start of your course:
1. Complete your online enrolment
Keep an eye on your email for more instructions on how to complete your enrolment online. It's essential you do this before you arrive. It’s an easy process and gives you access to a whole host of benefits, including:
- Student email (sign up for student discounts, including NUS and Amazon Prime)
- Library access
- Your personal timetable
- Reading lists for your course
2. Look up your course induction session
As a new student, you’ll need to attend your course induction session to make sure you get your LSBU career off to a flying start. This is your chance to meet your academic team and fellow students, as well as find out everything you need to know about studying here. Details of your course induction session will shortly be available here.
3. Visit your timetable
To help you get off to a flying start, it's important that you check where and when your teaching is scheduled. Once you have completed your online enrolment and activated your student email address, you will be able to access your timetable on MyLSBU, using your LSBU IT account. Your timetable does not currently include any option modules which you may be eligible to select during your induction. Please note that the timetable is subject to change during the first 1-2 weeks of term.
4. Attend your enrolment appointment
We may ask you to attend a face to face enrolment appointment on campus.
When you attend your enrolment appointment, you'll need to bring some important documents. Don’t forget:
- Your valid passport.
- One additional form of ID. This could be your birth certificate, driving license, EU national ID card or a utility bill or bank statement with the address that you have registered with us. (International students' ID should include their full name and date of birth.)
- All documents that relate to your immigration status, including (if applicable) those of your spouse or parents, and evidence of your relationship. It is vital that you bring these documents as we are required to carry out a "right to study" check on all enrolling students, to ensure you have the correct immigration status. At this point, we also determine your fee status (home/EU/overseas).
- Proof of all your existing qualifications eg. your original A-level and GCSE certificates or official degree certificate. If the originals are not in English, we’ll ask that you also bring an official, certified translation. Lost your certificate? Get a replacement.
- Details of how you will pay your fees as an undergraduate, postgraduate or international student.
