Welcome to Nottingham!

Congratulations on becoming a student at The University of Nottingham.
Here's a basic guide on what to expect during your first few days.  

 
 The information below varies for international students. To find out more please see the International Students webpages.

Registration

Student registering in person 

If you are full-time student, you must complete your registration in person, otherwise processes, such as the payment of your student loan, may be delayed.

If you are unable to attend, you must confirm your attendance in person at the Student Services Centre.

Health Centre registration

Registration at Cripps 

We strongly recommend that you sign up with a health centre such as the University's Cripps Health Centre on University Park.

There are also several general practitioner (GP) surgeries available around Nottingham and in the local area for those living outside the catchment area of the Cripps Health Centre.
