Complete enrolment

If you haven’t already, you’ll soon receive an email with initial instructions on how to complete enrolment, which has four main stages:

• Stage 1: Online enrolment
• Stage 2: Essential training. Within Student Records, go to ‘My Training’ on the right-hand side where you’ll be asked to follow further instructions to complete your essential training courses, including our ‘Keeping Each Other Safe’ series and your Health and Safety induction.
• Stage 3: Right to Study check (for students who do not hold British or Irish nationality). The Right to Study check ensures that international students hold an appropriate immigration status to study in the UK. Even if you hold settled status or have an indefinite right to remain, you’re still required to complete the Right to Study check.
• Stage 4: Collecting your student ID card

The enrolment email will have been sent to the email address you supplied when making your application to study at King’s. If you can’t locate the email or believe it might have been sent to an email address you can no longer access, please contact us with your student number, which can be found on your offer letter.

Your student ID card

You’ll receive a dedicated email outlining the process for collecting your student ID card before Welcome to King’s starts. In the meantime, you’ll still be able to access buildings on campus if you need to. We will send you more information about this soon.

Important to know: you’ll need to bring proof of identity to collect your student ID card. This needs to be the original document, as scans or photographs of your ID will not be accepted. For more information, read our article What proof of identity do I need to provide to collect my student ID card?
