International check-in

1. BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

Make sure you hold an unconditional offer and have used your CAS to apply for a Student visa to study in the UK. When you are eligible to register, you will receive an email containing your student ID number (i.e. @01234567) and a PIN number. Follow the link in your registration email and book an International Check-in appointment to provide your immigration documents to the University.

When you arrive in the UK you must attend your International Check-in appointment at the allotted time and date. It is very important that you bring original versions of the documents asked for in your offer letter. These will include:

2. WHEN YOU ARRIVE

/ Your passport / Your visa / Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) or the letter from the Home Office telling you where to collect your visa (BRP card) from / Your unconditional offer letter or transcripts from the University of Salford / Any qualifications used to obtain your offer including your English Language qualifications. The University is required by law to hold a copy of these documents to ensure that we can provide proof of your leave to remain in the UK should this information be requested by the Home Office.

3. AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT

Once you have attended the International Check-in appointment, you will be able to complete online registration and finalise payment of your tuition fees. You must complete this straight away to ensure you are a registered student.

The University has a responsibility to report any student who fails to register to the Home Office. If you are unable to register on time, please contact our registration team at registration@salford.ac.uk so we can advise you on your options.

Before you start your course at the University of Salford you need to register as a student. This will allow you to collect your student ID card and will fully activate your IT and library accounts, allowing you to benefit from all of our services.

4. ORIENTATION

To help ensure you meet the requirements of your Student visa and settle into your course at the University, orientation events will be advertised for you to attend. Part of your orientation will explain how to remain compliant with the conditions of your visa during your studies. We would highly recommend that you attend this and also contact the Home Office Compliance Team if you have any additional questions.
