International non-UK/Irish and settled status students - the first step is to register right to study documents in person, normally your passport and immigration documents/eVisa, before completing the online enrolment steps below. If you are on a placement abroad or pursuing a course wholly taught abroad, then you can complete registration by email but may need to attend a zoom appointment
UK and Irish students - if you have not registered right to study documents before then the first step of online enrolment is to upload your passport or three alternative identity documents (birth certificate, NI letter, Photo ID)
When staff verify your documents the right to study tab will be "ticked" to indicate this step has been completed
Agree online to be a student at Swansea University for the academic year, or part of the academic year
Agree online to abide by the University's academic guide regulations and student charter
Agree to the data protection statement and consent to share other data
Agree to pay fees (or have sponsorship or a student finance loan to pay on your behalf)
Verify and update personal data, your home address and equality and diversity details.
Provide your UK term time address and postcode, otherwise provide your study abroad term address.
Check and select online the modules you will be studying (where applicable).
The last step of enrolment is paying your fee or having a student finance loan, bursary, scholarship or grant in place to pay on your behalf.
How To Pay International / Overseas Fees
If you are paying an international fee yourself you must pay at least 50% of the total fee due. The quickest way to pay is by card securely over the web when you enrol online.
However, if you are transferring funds by international bank transfer then we suggest making the 50% payment a few weeks before the course starts to ensure it is in the University account in time for you to enrol.
If you are paying a fee yourself, the quickest way is in the Tuition Fee step of online enrolment by setting up a direct debit to pay in installments or pay by card 100% of the fee due. Need help? For information and contact details browse How To Pay Fees
If you have a 100% student loan or University bursary, scholarship or grant to pay your tuition fee on your behalf then you will not need to make a payment when you enrol online.
If you have other sponsorship, for example an embassy or employer is paying towards your fees send a Confirmation of Sponsorship form or sponsor letter by email to studentfinance@swansea.ac.uk and we will email you when the details are recorded and you can complete this step
To access online digital content and attend teaching you will need to have completed your right to study registration, signed the student declaration and selected modules.
When you are fully enrolled your UK Student Finance loans will be paid on the first day of your course. If you enrol after your course start date you will be paid 3-5 working days after you enrol.
For University scholarships/stipends, maintenace payments will start after you complete enrolment and the course start date.
Contact MyUniHub and a member of staff will help you with enrolment
It is important to register in person* your international (non UK/Irish) passport and right to study immigration documents or eVisa share code as soon as possible after your arrival with our Student Compliance Services. When your documents have been registered you can then complete the other steps of enrolment online.
*Please contact Student Compliance Services if you are on a placement year abroad or studying a course wholly from abroad
Book an appointment
Check where your course is based and book an appointment to register your immigration documents and/or collect a BRP card from Bay or Singleton Park campuses:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Need help?
If are on a placement year abroad or studying a course wholly from abroad or have any queries about right to study registration or picking up your new BRP card, please email Student Compliance Services.
It is very important that you register your right to study documents by uploading your UK or Irish passport or three alternnative documents as soon as possible because we need to verify your right to study, identity, nationality and eligibility to receive a student loan or other funding.
Upload your UK or Irish passport
Please ensure that your passport is in date (has not expired) and that you have a clear scanned image of the page containing your photo and personal information (place of birth, passport number etc.) only. No other pages will be accepted. Please do not include the page opposite the photo page as this reduces the image quality.
Uploading alternative documents if you are British and do not have a passport
Upload three documents:
Verification
We will verifiy your documents and the Right to Study step will change to "ticked" when your upload is accepted. Otherwise you will need to re-upload a rejected document.
Need help?
If you have any queries about UK and Irish right to study registration, please email Student Records.
Remember to bring your passport when collecting your University ID card. The passport image you upload must match the passport you present in person.
The last step of enrolment is paying your fee or having a student finance loan, bursary, scholarship or grant in place to pay on your behalf.
If you are paying an international fee yourself you must pay at least 50% of the total fee due by the course start date.
Example: A student's tuition fee is £15000 and awarded an international bursary/scholarship of £2000, leaving a total fee due of £13000. To enrol requires a minimum payment of £6500 (50% of £13000). The student had previously paid a deposit of £4000 so in the last fee payment step of enrolment they made a payment over the web of £2500.
The quickest way to pay is by card securely over the web when you enrol online. However, if you are transferring funds by international bank transfer then we suggest making the 50% payment a few weeks before the course starts to ensure it is in the University account in time for you to enrol.

Final Review - You may appeal against the decision by applying for a final review
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.
