Immigration documents

You will be required to bring your passport and supporting documentation to evidence your immigration status in the UK.  These documents will vary depending on your personal situation, but some of the most common documents are listed below:

• Biometric Residence Permit (BRP)

If you need to collect a BRP when you arrive in the UK, you will have received a letter detailing where to collect it when you received your visa decision.  Please see the section on Biometric Residence Permit card collection below for further details. If you already have your BRP, please bring this to your Right to Study registration together with your passport.

• Electronic immigration status

Some students (for example EU/EEA nationals) will not receive a BRP but will instead receive a digital immigration status (eVisa). If you have been issued an eVisa, you will find confirmation of this on your visa decision letter.  You will be able to generate a ‘share code’ that the University will be able to use to verify your immigration status online.  To make your Right to Study registration as easy as possible, we would request that you generate your share code ahead of coming to see us for your Right to Study registration. 

You can generate your share code on the UK Government website View and prove your immigration status - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).  When prompted to give your reason for generating the share code, please select ‘other’ (NOT work or rent).  Please bring your passport and share code to your Right to Study registration.

• Study as a Visitor

If we issued you with a letter to apply for a Visitor visa, or advised that you apply for a Visitor visa, please bring your passport containing your Visitor visa stamp. If you entered via eGates and did not receive a stamp in your passport, please see the information below.

• Entering the UK via eGates

Some students are not required to see an immigration officer and receive a stamp in their passport and are instead permitted to enter the UK via eGates. If you enter the UK via eGates, we will still need to evidence when you arrive in the UK, so please bring your passport and proof of your entry (boarding pass / copy of your flight details) with you to Right to Study registration.  Your proof of entry can be emails or scans if you do not have hard copies.

Student Route – Original Documents

If you have applied for a Student Route visa using a CAS issued by us, then we will also need to verify your original certificates that you used to apply for your visa, as listed on your CAS.  Please bring your certificates with you to your right to study registration

Biometric Residence Permit card collection (BRP)

If you have applied for a new Student Route visa you will find information about where to collect your BRP on your visa decision letter.  This will either be from Swansea University or from a local Post Office (if you did not request for it to be delivered to us).  You will need to bring your BRP Collection letter and your passport to collect your BRP.

We strongly advise that you request your BRP is delivered to Swansea University and collect it when you attend your in-person right to study registration.  Having your BRP sent to the University also enables us to help you should the card be delayed or missing.

Request delivery to Swansea University by entering our Alternative Collection Location (ACL) code on your visa application.  The correct ACL code for your course will be on your CAS. 

• The Swansea University ACL code for courses on Singleton Campus is 2HE544.  
• The Swansea University ACL code for courses on Bay Campus is 2HE987. 

If you do not enter this code, you will have to collect your BRP  card from somewhere else and it can be difficult to get there by public transport.

• If you have registered your right to study documents then you should be eligible to complete enrolment online:

Login to My account click on the Intranet app and Start Enrolment link

Follow the step-by-step instructions to review your student record, personal data, modules, fees and funding.

On the last tab click Finish to complete your enrolment

• At the end of the process you should see a message and receive an email confirming you have successfully enrolled.

During online enrolment you will need to:

• UK students in the fee step of online enrolment can pay 100% of the the fee due by card or set up a direct debit and pay later in three instalments. If you intend to pay by direct debit online you should have a UK current bank account in your name and transfer funds to that account before the first payment is due. 
• International students must pay at least 50% of their fee by card in the fee step of online enrolment or transfer funds to the University before enrolling online. 
• For more information browse How To Pay Fees

If your UK student loan is delayed:

• we recommend you set up a direct debit as a temporary financial guarantee so that you can enrol on your course.
• no payment will be required when you enrol
• when you receive your student loan the direct debit is cancelled. The first payment by direct debit for students starting in September is not until November which gives plenty of time for your DD to be cancelled

If you have an enrolment query contact MyUniHub and a member of staff will help you or for any other queries browse our MyUni web page for current students

If your enrolment and/or arrival on campus is delayed please contact your student support team for advice and agree with your School or The College on an agreed arival date after your course starts, you MUST obtain this from your School or The College before traveling to Swansea.

• Enrolment has closed - what can I do?

If you receive email notification your enrolment has closed you can request permission to enrol which may be approved (or rejected) depending on your circumstances. To submit a request:

• International Students awaiting Visa Decisions

If you do not think you will be able to arrive by the date agreed by your Faculty, you have a submitted a visa application, and have not yet received a decision, you may want to try to withdraw the application as soon as possible.

This should trigger a refund of visa fee and Immigration Health Surcharge paid. You will need to apply for a fresh visa for your deferred course date and so a withdrawal could prevent a duplication of payment. Contact international campus life for further information about this process.
