Enrolment and tuition fees
Subject to application the Admissions Office will confirm if you have been offered a place at Goldsmiths. Once you have received an unconditional offer, and have accepted, the Admissions Office will send you an enrolment pack that will contain confirmation of your place and includes information on how to enrol.
Accommodation
If you have not received this information already, you should also receive a booklet about college accommodation. This booklet outlines the halls of residence available, how much they cost, and who is eligible to obtain a place.Fitness to train
For a full explanation of the College's policy regarding recruitment to programmes which have a 'fitness to train' element, see your offer letter or contact the Admissions Office.
Registering with a doctor
At application you will have been asked to complete a medical questionnaire and provide information on your present state of health, family history and immunisation schedule. This information is required in order for the college to comply with Health and Safety at Work Act, and the answers given are treated in confidence.
On arrival at at Goldsmiths it is recommended that you register with a local doctor as soon as possible – do not wait until you are ill to do so. You are eligible to register with the New Cross Medical Centre if you live in a College hall of residence or within a two to three mile radius of the College.
Further details are available in the Student Handbook.
Departmental inductions
Inductions provide an opportunity for students to meet staff and other students in their academic department, as well as providing an introduction to your programme of study, including reading lists and a timetable of classes/lectures.
If you are studying for a joint degree you are advised to attend an induction in each of the departments responsible for your programme of study.
Details of departmental inductions will be made available online and at start of session. If you wish to contact your academic department directly please see contact details for your department.
Terms and conditions
At enrolment you will be asked to sign a declaration agreeing to the terms and conditions of the College. These refer to both Goldsmiths regulations and University of London Ordinance and Statutes, and outline what we expect of all students on a number of issues including enrolment, attendance, assessment, fees, computer access, etc. Further details including the College's policy on Data Protection and Freedom of Information are available online.
We are equally committed to our students and the studentcharter aims to provide you with a guide to your student journey whilst at Goldsmiths. We don’t expect it will tell you everything you are going to need to know, however it will give you an idea of what to expect, what we expect from you and where to go if you need more support or information.
After you have enrolled…
Once you have completed enrolment you will be issued a Goldsmiths Card that will act as your student ID and will enable you access to Goldsmiths services.
Your main point of contact on academic issues will be your academic department, who must also be consulted if you wish to change your programme of study, interrupt or withdraw from Goldsmiths.
For administrative matters e.g. if you need advice on council tax or travel discounts, or need a letter confirming you are a student, please refer to the Information for Current Students.
Student Services also offers pastoral support and guidance if you do experience problems during your time at Goldsmiths.
Cancellation of courses within your programme of study
The College is unable to accept liability for the cancellation of courses within a programme of study prior to their scheduled start. In the event of such a cancellation, and where possible, the College will take reasonable steps to transfer students on to similar or related courses of study.
