I am an undergraduate or postgraduate partnership student

If you are a partnership student studying for a full academic year with no module/semester exemptions, you should follow the standard online enrolment process. If you are studying for less than one year or have module/semester exemptions, you must enrol in person when you arrive. 

For students who are having difficulty enrolling online there are a number of support sessions where members of Academic Registry will be available to assist you with your enrolment.

Online enrolment guide

Collect your student ID card

You will need your card to:

• Access University buildings and accommodation
• Register your attendance at classes using the Touchpoints
• Access printing credits

How do I collect my student ID card?

• ID cards can be collected from information points based in the faculty buildings around campus and in the Hub. ID cards can also be collected from the Student Centre during the enrolment support sessions

If you have already received and accepted an offer for university owned or managed accommodation, then you can visit us on Arrivals Weekend to collect your key. We will email you two weeks before, explaining where to collect your key from.

You can collect your key after Arrivals Weekend, but you need to let FutureLets know when to expect you, so they can inform you of when and where to collect your keys.

If you have booked accommodation in our private lettings, email FutureLets with your anticipated arrival time, and we will tell you when you can collect your keys.

Don’t forget that your accommodation is not secured until you have accepted your offer, paid the deposit and selected a payment plan.

If you are staying in University owned accommodation, make sure you read FutureLets Licence to Occupy (PDF).

Have you organised your fees and finances?

• To find out more about course fees, making payments, scholarships, loans and other sources of financial help, UK and EU students should visit our Finance pages. After you have enrolled, visit the Student Portal Finance site. International students should visit the International Student Hub for scholarship and discount information.
• The easiest way to pay your tuition or accommodation fees is online.
• Full tuition fee terms and conditions are available here
• If you are an undergraduate student, check the support we provide through Flying Start.

Do you have a bank account or pay council tax?

After you have enrolled and collected your ID Card, log in to the Student Portal and access NOVA to generate a letter to prove your student status. You may need this if you want to open a student bank account, apply for council tax exemption, or provide proof of your course details.

Want to know about disability or mental health support?

If you have (or think you may have) a disability, including Specific Learning Difficulty (Dyslexia), Physical and Sensory Disabilities, Asperger’s (Autistic Spectrum) or Mental Health, which will affect your ability to study or to physically access the University, please contact us before you arrive so that we can start discussing your support needs.

Our Disability, Counselling and Mental Health Teams are in TheHub and are available to help you at any time during your studies. Please call +44 (0) 24 7765 8029 or email the team. 

What should I do if I am ill?

All students must register with a medical doctor (GP). You can register with the University Medical Centre in TheHub at special sessions in Welcome & Induction Week or at covunigp.co.uk/new-students. You can also register with a local GP. Once you have registered you will be sent an NHS card.

If you need urgent medical attention, go to Accident and Emergency (A&E) at University Hospital Coventry, or call the Emergency Services on 999. If you are on campus, call the Protection Service on +44 (0) 24 7688 8555.
