Foundation degree students are required to register on campus on Monday 10 September. Undergraduate honours degree students are required to register on campus on Tuesday 25 September. Postgraduate registration dates are dependent on the course. For further details please refer to page 4.

Please refer to your INTRO events timetable, on the web www.leedstrinity.ac.uk/intro, for confirmation of the date, time and location (Andrew Kean Learning Centre or Gym) of your registration session.

At the registration session you will be asked to complete a final check of your personal details via your e:Vision account. You must complete this final check in order to proceed to stage 3 of the registration process. Your personal details confirmation will state whether you have FULL or PROVISIONAL registration status. If all the required admission clearance criteria have been met (for example, proof of your entry qualifications, satisfactory CRB Enhanced Disclosure certificate, if appropriate) you will be given FULL registration status.

If any of the required admission clearance criteria have not been met by registration day, you will be given PROVISIONAL registration status only. Provisional registration is a temporary status which allows you to undertake study and use the computing and library facilities, but it will not allow you to receive any funding that may be due to you (for example, student loan, bursary).

Student finance checklist - What to do before you arrive

Item

Make sure you have applied for your student funding (see above) and that you have provided your funding body with all the information they need, including proof of your identity, your parents’ /partner’s financial details (and evidence) etc. If you are unsure you should check with your relevant funding body. Student Finance England can be contacted on 0845 300 5090.

If you have to send anything to Student Finance England always send it recorded delivery to Student Finance England, PO Box 210, Darlington, DL1 9HJ.

Make sure you keep a record (somewhere safe) of your Customer Reference Number (CRN), password and secret answer. Student Finance England can only talk to you about your funding if you can provide them with those details.

When you receive your ‘notification of entitlement’ letter from Student Finance England (a copy of this should also be posted to the ‘view correspondence’ section of your online student finance account at www.direct.gov.uk/studentfinance), check that you are getting all the loans and grants you requested and that ‘Leeds Trinity University College’ is the institution recorded on the letter. Check that your tuition fee is correct. For full time undergraduate honours courses the fee in 2012/13 is £8,000.

If you applied online then along with your ‘notification of entitlement’ letter you should receive an ‘online declaration form’. You must sign and return this form to the Student Loans Company (the address should be on the top right of the form). You must send this form to the Student Loans Company in order for them to be able to make the payments of your loans and grants.

If your ‘notification of entitlement’ letter shows that you have only been provided with basic student funding, don’t panic. This might be because Student Finance England have not yet been able to financially assess your parents’ / partner’s details as the information is still in the processing queue. If you are unsure if you have sent Student Finance England all the required information you should check with them on 0845 300 5090.

Make sure (if relevant to your course) you have completed your Criminal Records Bureau check / Health Declaration / provided all certificates (eg GCSE) that Leeds Trinity has requested. If these things are not completed by the start of term your student funding cannot be paid to you (until they are completed).
