Registration

All students must register with the University when they first begin their studies and again at the beginning of each academic session.  All students need to register online  via the portal, new full time students will also need to confirm their attendance  in person.

 

New students

This means students who are beginning a new programme of study at the University and those who are returning to year 1 in 2011/12 after suspending their studies in 2010/11. It includes students who have previously studied at Nottingham but are beginning a new course at a different level (eg Masters students beginning a PhD). It excludes current students who are transferring to year 1 of a new course and Foundation year students who are transferring to a degree programme who are considered to be returning students for the purposes of registration.

 

Returning students

This means current students of the University and includes those who will be on a year/semester out in 2011/12; those transferring to another course; Foundation year students transferring to a degree programme; those repeating a year and those returning to year 2 or above in 2011/12 after a period of suspension.

 

Exceptions

Students in 'thesis pending' or with an extension to PGT dissertation are not required to register. Full-time students who are about to go into 'thesis pending' have the option to register if they wish and should contact the PG Registry Team for further details.  There are also alternative arrangements for early starters.
