How to enrol - international students

Once you’ve accepted our offer, look out for our follow-up email about two weeks before teaching starts (check key dates above) – this one takes you to our dedicated student enrolment portal and will walk you through the enrolment process step-by-step.

You’ll then be given access (to the email address you registered with) to your learning materials so you can engage with these before you even arrive in the UK!

You will also be asked what date you expect to arrive in the UK. It’s important you arrive in the UK as soon as your visa allows you to, this will allow you time to settle into your new home, get to know the campus and start to make friends.

You will need your eVisa as well as your admissions and travel documents, all the original documents specified in your CAS letter, your ATAS certificate (if your course requires one) and a formal letter issued by the body or institution that awarded your qualifications, in order to complete your Right to Study check.

Passengers will remain subject to the usual immigration checks and requirements, and anyone seeking to enter the UK whose underlying immigration status has expired will be liable for refusal of entry.

The Right to Study (RTS) check ensures we are satisfied you meet all the criteria to study in the UK. If this check is not successful, you will not be able to complete your enrolment.

British and Irish passport holders paying international fees: you will be required to complete an RTS check and you can do this by sending a clear colour copy of the personal details page of your passport to ISC.RTS@coventry.ac.uk.  

All other passport holders paying international fees: you will be required to meet with the Compliance team to complete a face-to-face RTS check. Your RTS checks will be carried out in person at the Student Centre.

The next intake for Coventry Uni main site is September 2025.
