New student enrolment
Before you begin your studies, you will need to enrol onto your chosen course.
Primary page content
If you are due to enrol onto a new programme for the 2022-23 academic year, you will receive an email invitation in during September 2022. This email will contain the instructions you need to follow to become a fully enrolled student. Enrolment is completed online via your My Goldsmiths account.
The online enrolment form should take 10-15 minutes to complete, and it involves confirming your details and providing us with the requested documentation such as a valid ID and possibly proof of your qualifications.
You will be able to provide electronic copies of all your documents.
Once you have fully completed enrolment, you will be eligible to collect your Goldsmiths ID card. Goldsmiths will email you with a date and time at which you can visit campus to collect your card, along with further instructions. This will take place during Induction Week (23 – 30 September).
You will be able to provide electronic copies of any required documents during the online enrolment process.
As part of enrolment you must provide proof of identity – either your passport, driving license photocard or birth certificate.
Please note: if your driving licence states that your place of birth was outside the UK or Ireland, you will need to provide your passport.
You may also be required to provide proof of academic qualifications – original certificates, a transcript of results or a confirmation of award letter, stamped and signed by the institution (if the original documents have not been checked on application).
Please note that all documents must be in English. Where documents are not in English, certified translations must be provided.

As part of enrolment you must show your valid passport and a valid visa (see below for more on visas).
You must also:
- Pay tuition fees or show proof of private sponsorship – if you are not in receipt of government funding, i.e. student loans, student finance or federal loans.
- Provide proof of any qualifications we request – original certificates, a transcript of results or a confirmation of award letter, stamped and signed by the institution (if the original documents have not been checked on application).
Please note that all documents must be in English. Where documents are not in English, certified translations must be provided.
Visa
If you are not a national of the UK or Ireland, you will be required to show evidence that you have a valid visa, residence permit, settled status or immigration document that permits study at Goldsmiths.
Your visa should cover the full length of your course of study. If your visa will expire before your course finishes, please email immigration (@gold.ac.uk) to check whether you can enrol with your current visa.
Student visa
If you have applied for a student visa to study with us, then you should have used a visa delivery code to make sure your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) card is delivered to our Immigration Advisory Service.
Check the letter you received from the embassy in your home country to confirm where your visa is going to be delivered to – if you are unsure please email immigration (@gold.ac.uk) for advice.
Your IT account details will be sent to you within 24 hours of completing online enrolment, giving you access to your student email, timetable, Library services and other Goldsmith's systems.
Need more help?
It is Goldsmiths policy to record students with their legal name, as given on any formal document (passport, driving licence or national ID) provided at enrolment.
This means the name we have on our enrolment system must match the name on your ID. If your ID has a different name, please contact admissions (@gold.ac.uk) before enrolling online.
Enrolling as a continuing student
If you are a continuing student your enrolment process will be different.
