To complete your registration with us we need you to follow these steps as soon as possible:
- Complete your online registration form. You will have been emailed to invite you to complete an online registration form. This is where you will give the university the information we need about you to set up your record as a student with us. Information about online registration can be found here.
- Pay a minimum of 50% of your fees. University fee policy requires international students to pay at least 50% of their fees in order to be able to complete their registration with the university.
- Book a video appointment. The last step to complete your registration is to have a short video appointment with a member of DMU staff. Once you have completed steps 1 and 2 above you will be emailed with more information and invited to book your video appointment.
What you need to do before your appointment
Provide copies of your visa and passport documentation by email to internationalregistration@dmu.ac.uk. What you need to send will depend on your situation:
If you are in the UK at the time of registration we will need a copy of the visa sticker in your passport that has been stamped at the border AND your Biometric Residence Permit Card - both sides (if you have been able to collect it)
If you are outside the UK and have had your passport back following a visa application we will need a copy the sticker in your passport.
If you are outside the UK and have not yet applied for your visa we will need a copy of your passport - we should have this on file from your application, so you do not need to send this again unless you are asked to do so.
Photographs of your documents are acceptable - but they must be in colour and clear enough for us to be able to read all details on the document.
Any student progressing to DMU from DMUIC do not need to provide further copies of visas unless you have new documentation since your initial registration.
Please use the online document guidance form to determine the evidence you need to email to; internationalregistration@dmu.ac.uk
What you need to do at your appointment
Join the online meeting at the time of your appointment slot. You will have booked a time to have your video call, it is important that you follow the link you are sent to join the meeting at the time of your appointment. Should you join early or late you may have to wait longer to be seen.
Have your passport and visa documents ready. We will need to check your identity. We may also ask for copies of any documents by email if we do not have a copy of what we need, so please be prepared to email copies of your documents again if requested.
Confirm the date you expect to arrive in the UK. You must arrive in the UK as soon as possible. We have made an allowance for students to register before arriving where restrictions following Covid-19 have limited their ability to travel on time - but we must know your travel plans and reason for any extended delays and you will need to discuss these during registration.
Thank you for taking the time to read this information. We are taking steps to register students remotely to support students that may be in a period of self-isolation following travel, those that are registering before they are able to travel and to ensure the safety of our staff and students.
It is really important that you work with us to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible during registration by following the instructions included closely.
If you have difficulty completing the tasks above, please contact internationalregistration@dmu.ac.uk.
