What is enrolment and why it's important
Completing your enrolment opens the door to your student life: your student identity, funding, course information, learning and support resources, student entitlements, discounts and more.
In fact, without completing your enrolment, you simply won’t be able to access everything you need to study, work and live your best Coventry University student life!
A completed enrolment is the gateway to your student life – here’s how you do it:
(Note: A small number of our courses enrol using a different platform so you may see different screens than shown in this video)

Follow these steps to enrol
-
Step 1: Enrol online
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.
UK fee-paying students - if you are accessing a loan via the Student Loans Company, please confirm if prompted. If you are self-funding, please select this option when prompted. You can also find tuition instalment dates and how to pay on this page.
If you are an international student paying UK fees, i.e. you do not hold a British or Irish passport, you will be required to complete a Right to Study (RTS) check. You will need to do this in person with the International Student Compliance team in the Student Centre, 9am-3.30pm, Monday-Friday - see key dates at the top of the page.
You’ll be then given your student account and you’ll also have the chance to get to know the tools we have in place to help you get to know your way around campus and explore our online learning environment.

Step 2: Collect your student ID card
No student ID? No student loan, no access to your accommodation, facilities and services, no important news and updates, no discounts, no fun - it’s that simple.
After you’ve completed your enrolment, you can collect your student ID in person.
Please visit: The Refectory, Priory Hall, Priory Street, Coventry

Welcome back to Coventry University, you’ll need to re-enrol with us before starting the next year of your course.
You will receive your link to enrol from 23 August 2023. If you have not received your link by the end of August please check your SOLAR results to ensure you are eligible to re-enrol and contact your Faculty Registry team so they can update your record or discuss options with you.
Course induction and timetable
Course induction : Once you’ve had an email confirming your enrolment is complete, you can access an induction module on our online learning platform, Aula.
Timetable : Your personalised timetable will be released before teaching starts - you can access your timetable by logging into the Student Portal, find it on Aula or on the Wayfinder app.
Don’t forget – your timetable may change, so keep checking!
Further information and support is available by logging into Aula, as well as from your course team.
Postgraduate researchers
Coventry University postgraduate researchers do not have timetables however, you will be contacted by our RECAP team who will guide you through our welcome programme. You can contact the team by emailing: research.admissions@coventry.ac.uk.
Pay your fees
Home students applying for a student loan must do so every year. You can find all the details on the UK Government website.
International full-time students must pay £8,000 to re-enrol.
International part-time students must pay your course fees in full. You can check the cost on our Returner Fees portal.
If your fees are being paid by a sponsor (eg an employer or government body) you will need to send your sponsor letter for approval to debtenq.fin@coventry.ac.uk. We require a new sponsor letter each academic year. Please note, family and friends are not classed as sponsors.
If you haven’t paid your tuition fees in full, please ensure you make payments by the tuition instalment deadlines.
The quickest and most secure way to pay is by using Convera payment platform.
