Enrolment for new entrants
Why do I need to enrol?
Enrolment is the process by which you confirm your intention to study, pay your tuition fees and confirm the details you may have supplied at application.
It is also an opportunity to capture more detailed information for the purpose of institutional reporting and for statutory reporting upon which College funding may be awarded. Without this funding we will not be able to maintain and improve the services offered by Goldsmiths.
When and where do I enrol?
Only when you have accepted an unconditional offer from the Admissions Office will you be sent an enrolment pack. The pack will include an enrolment timetable (see Enrolment Timetable 2010), notes on accommodation, and details of the documents you will need to show at enrolment.
You should allow at least 30 minutes to enrol, pay your fees and collect your Goldsmiths Card and it's important that you enrol at the time given in the timetable or you may experience long delays.
Direct Entry Students - some courses taught in the Department of Professional And Community Education (PACE) do not require an application, e.g. if you are studying for a language, music or non-credit bearing course. See the PACE website for further details
How do I enrol?
As a new entrant we are required to see you in person and applicants are not currently able to enrol via a web interface, by email or telephone.
On arrival at enrolment you will be issued a pre-printed enrolment form. You will be expected to check the details given on the form, and confirm your agreement to abide by both the General and the Programme Regulations.
Enrolment staff will then carry out a number of checks, you will be expected to show:
- Proof of identity – either your passport, drivers licence photo-card or national identity card;
- Proof of qualifications – either certificate, transcript of results or confirmation of award from the awarding institution;
- Criminal Records Bureau clearance - only applicable if you are enrolling on a programme of social work, teacher training or therapeutic studies;
- Visa documents and passport - only applicable if you have entered the UK on a Tier 4 Visa or a Student Visitor Visa.
Please note that we are only able to accept original documents, i.e. photocopied documents will not be accepted. If you are unable to meet any of the conditions outlined above you may be provisionally enrolled until the 1 November, during which time you will have limited access to services.
Do I have to pay tuition fees at enrolment?
At enrolment you will be expected to either:
- Complete a Direct Debit mandate or;
- Pay your tuition fees in full by cheque or credit card or;
- Show formal proof of sponsorship or tuition fee loans.
Further details on tuition fees payable and payment options available to students are available online.
