Documentation to bring to enrolment
There are a number of documents you will be asked to provide when you enrol on your first day at UCL. To make the enrolment process easier, please:
make sure you have your Student ID number to hand
bring a copy of your UCL Summer School Confirmation Letter
bring a valid passport as your form of ID (please note that copies will not be accepted, and it needs to be the physical form of ID)
UCL is not permitted to allow students to enrol without the correct documentation so please make sure that you have all the required documentation (above) before you travel to UCL.
If you are unsure if you have completed enrolment or not, please speak to Graham Knight on the day.
If you complete pre-enrolment online
If you complete enrolment online, you will receive an email confirming your enrolment is complete.
Please bring a valid physical passport and the email confirming your enrolment is complete (a digital copy of the email on your phone is fine).
During the enrolment session you will only need to go to collect your student ID card.
It may be possible to print your student ID card with the photo you uploaded during enrolment if the photo meets the image guidelines. If not, a photo will be taken on the day, so please be prepared for your photo to be taken for your ID card.
If you do not complete pre-enrolment online
If you do not complete pre-enrolment online, you will need to complete the enrolment process in person during on the first Monday of your course before you can collect your ID card.
Please bring your passport and visa documents (e.g. boarding pass, Eurostar train ticket, passport with border stamp or visa, your student visa and BRP, etc).
You will need to show these documents to complete the final stage of enrolment and then collect your student ID card – please be prepared for your photo to be taken for your ID card.
Please note that copies will not be accepted, and it needs to be the physical form of ID.
Enrolling late
If you won’t be able to join us on Monday, please contact the Summer School team if you haven’t already, and we will arrange for you to complete late enrolment on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please note, it will not be possible to enrol after 5pm on Wednesday.
Your UCL ID Card - access to buildings and useful discounts
After you have enrolled, you will be given a UCL Student ID card. On the front of your UCL Student ID card will be printed:
your name - this is your preferred 'known as' name and surname as recorded on your student record
your photograph
your UCL student ID number
your UCL Person Identifier (UPI)
the date of when your current programme of study ends
On the reverse of the card will be printed your library barcode, eye-readable barcode number and card issue number. The barcode is passed automatically to the library membership database (an overnight process), so there is no need to visit the library to complete the registration process.
It is very important that you always carry the card with you as it allows you to access certain UCL buildings including the libraries, and Students’ Union UCL activities.
The ID card is produced by the UCL Security team. You will be shown where to have your ID card produced after you have completed the first part of the enrolment process.
For Security to produce your card, you will need to show them the Statement of Student Status you receive when you enrol and they will then produce your ID card. Your photograph will be taken, so you do not need to bring a photo with you and the card will be produced while you wait.
Security are based in the Andrew Huxley Building.
If you lose your ID card or it gets stolen, please visit the Security office to get a replacement. Please note there may be a charge for replacement cards.
