Enrolment

Enrolment of new students will normally take place during 'Welcome Week', and all students will receive full details in advance. You will also be able to register with the Students' Union in your first week, getting all the red tape out of the way in one go!

Student Records

In common with all UK universities, we provide statistical information on academic staff and students to the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA). The material collected is used by the Funding Councils for Higher Education, the DfEE and universities themselves, for planning and policy-making purposes, and is subject to strict confidentiality safeguards. Material is drawn from the record only in the form of statistical tabulations. If you wish to see a print-out of the information held about you on the record, you should contact the Registrar and Secretary.

Many of the University's own student records are held on computer. If you wish to obtain a copy of your own record under the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998, you can apply to the Registrar and Secretary, and pay the appropriate charge.

Personal Insurance

Our insurance covers our legal liability, but it does not insure you against personal accident not involving the University or its property. The University accepts no liability for personal property in any of its buildings, and does not insure personal property against damage or loss. If you wish to insure yourself and/or your personal property, you should first check to see if you are, or can be, covered by your own, your parents', or your spouse's existing insurance policies. If you are not, you can obtain details of suitable cover through the Students' Union
