Book an appointment for all other dates
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:
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.
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.
Studying Abroad
If you are on a placement year abroad or studying a course wholly from abroad contact Student Compliance Servces.
Need help?
For queries about right to study registration or picking up your new BRP card, please email Student Compliance Services.

a recent photo ID from your previous school, college, institution, club or employment; or
a UK photo driving licence; or
a UK Citizen Identity card available from www.citizencard.com

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.
Funded students
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 the Student Records Office will email you when the details are recorded and you can complete online enrolment.
Self-funding students
In the fee payment step of online enrolment you can pay by card or for UK home fees set up a direct debit or use Convera to make an international payment, for details browse:
Payment:
September entry international payment example: A new student's tuition fee is £15000 and awarded an international scholarship of £3000, leaving a total fee due of £12000. The first instalment requires a minimum payment of £6000 (50% of £12000) to be made. The new student had paid a £4000 CAS deposit and enrolled in September, then paid £2000 later before the 30 October payment deadline.
Withdrawal for non-payment
It is very important to have sufficient funding to pay for your studies on time and avoid the risk of being withdrawn from the university.
Need advice about payments?

For research courses, regularly contact your supervisors so that every month they can "sign off" in the e:Vision Research Management app that you have engaged in research or preparations for your viva or on course to complete corrections.
If your arrival is delayed or you cannot engage in studies please contact your school Student Support Team.
Student loan, University bursary, scholarship or grant funding
After completing all the enrolment steps, the Student Records Office send confirmation to our Finance department and the Student Loans Company (Student Finance Wales, England, Northern Ireland & Student Awards Agency for Scotland) which triggers the first maintenance payment into your bank account and tuition fee payment to the University (where appropriate).

IMPORTANT University payments may not be in your account by the 1st day of the month. If you rely on this payment to pay bills or make other regular payments, to avoid going overdrawn we suggest you set up instalments to start after the 7th day of the month.
Council Tax
The University sends details of full time enrolled students living in a Swansea term address to Swansea Council for them to assess if you are eligible to receive Council Tax exemption.
Official letter
If you need a letter confirming you are a student, for example to open a bank account, please contact MyUniHub to make a request and we will email details of how to get your letter.
