UK Students

If you are unable to attend a Face-to-Face enrolment session because you are in quarantine or self-isolation, then you must not attend a face to face enrolment session until this period has ended. We would still like you to engage with your studies and welcome and induction sessions therefore please complete pre-enrolment (including uploading of photographic identification) and then email enrolment@northampton.ac.uk (please put ‘Remote Enrolment Request’ in the subject) to request that we process your enrolment remotely. Once you are able to attend the University (e.g. after your self-isolation has ended) then you must then attend a face-to-face enrolment session

International Students

Due to the ongoing difficulty with international travel we will be remote enrolling international students who complete pre-enrolment and have no outstanding blocking issues. Please read the emails which will be sent to you and the International Students Getting Started guide for full details on the enrolment process.

Once you arrive in the UK (and have completed any self-isolation requirements) you will then need to attend an enrolment session.

If you are studying a programme which starts early then you need to attend the enrolment session which is designated for your programme. Please view the upcoming enrolments schedule which will have details of your enrolment session or read your invite to enrol email.

We will adhere to the government requirements which are required at the time. It is imperative that all students adhere to government guidance and university requirements should you be studying on campus, living in halls or attending campus:
