Enrolment for New Students

At the start of each year of your course you will be expected to enrol during the period in your enrolment timetable.

New students should wait until they receive an email from the University before trying to log in to your myuni.swan.ac.uk account.

You will be advised via email details of your IT account and when you can access online services.

• Login for our online services at myuni.swan.ac.uk which allows you to access the intranet, your email, Canvas and other online services. Your email address will be studentnumber@swansea.ac.uk. For example, if your student number is 123456@swansea.ac.uk, your email is 123456@swansea.ac.uk
• When you log into your University account you will be prompted to change your password. 
• Once you have changed your password, you will be prompted to provide security information in case you forget your password or need to unblock your account. You will need to provide additional information such as a mobile phone number to receive a text, alternative email account or responses to security questions.

For any queries about your IT account please contact our Information Services and Systems Customer Service (ISS) on 01792 295500 or customerservice@swansea.ac.uk.

Upload a photo by logging into the intranet and we will have your card ready when you arrive.

International non-EU students studying in the UK

Please email a scan of your passport and visa/BRP card to studentcompliance@swansea.ac.uk so that we can verify your right to study documents. Please include your student number in the email.  You will not be able to enrol online until you have sent these documents. 

You may be invited to a video call to verify your identity and documents.

We will email you when your documents have been verified to confirm that you are eligible to enrol online.

International non-EU students studying abroad

Please email a scanned copy of your passport and the study agreement from your Swansea University College confirming that you will be studying wholly abroad to studentcompliance@swansea.ac.uk

We will email you when your documents have been received and that you are eligible to enrol online.

We need proof of identity and nationality to confirm your right to study, tuition fee status and eligibility to receive a student loan or other funding.

To register your UK or EU passport, login to the intranet, upload a scanned image of your passport and enter your passport details. For information browse How to upload your passport.

If you do not have a passport, email a scanned image of your birth certificate and photo ID to studentrecords@swansea.ac.uk. Acceptable forms of photo ID are:

• Check and update your student record, personal data, home address, entry qualifications and module selection (where appropriate). 
• Provide your UK term time address and postcode, otherwise provide your study abroad term address.
• If you are enrolling on a new course, you may be asked to matriculate by emailing a scanned copy of your entry qualification (e.g. bachelor degree certificate) or be invited to a video call. 
• If you have a UK Student Finance loan your fees will be paid by your tuition fee loan/grant and your maintenance loan will be paid to you after you enrol. If you have other external sponsorship, send us a Confirmation of Sponsorship form or sponsor letter by email to: studentfinance@swansea.ac.uk 
• If you are liable to pay a fee, during online enrolment you can make a payment by card or pay later by setting up a direct debit. For more information browse How To Pay Fees

Contact us if you have a query about your personal data, course and modules, tuition fee, student loan or other funding or a problem making a payment or setting up a direct debit online

Please note that the Libraries are currently closed, to make alternative ID card collection arrangements please email Customer Services open daily 8am-8pm.

Your student loan or scholarship will be paid after you complete online enrolment.

The face to face service below is suspended:

You will need your passport (or the UK/EU photo ID you emailed us) to collect your ID card in the library on the campus where your academic department is based. 

IMPORTANT if you have a student loan or scholarship, picking up your new card triggers the first maintenance payment into your bank account. 

If you arrive after your course start date contact your College Late Arrivals Representative.

If you have any questions about college late arrival schedules or if you have any questions about your programme, please get in touch directly via email with your college.

Lectures and research will have commenced for many of our programmes but while you are enrolling, please continue to attend classes and study at Swansea University.

If you are enrolling after your enrolment deadline 

To get permission to enrol download the Permission to enrol Form and contact your College Late Arrivals Representative to arrange for your form to be signed before forwarding to Academic Services for approval.

Enrol immediately after you receive an email confirming you have permission to enrol.

If you are studying abroad, distance learning or away from campus, then please email us instead.

Student loan, University bursary, scholarship or grant funding

After completing your enrolment, the Student Records Office sends 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 

The first payment is made a few days after you enrol and 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 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, you can get one printed in the MyUniHub.
