International fee paying students

Once you’ve accepted our offer, look out for our follow-up email about two weeks before teaching starts (check key dates above) – this one takes you to our dedicated student enrolment portal and will walk you through the enrolment process step-by-step.

You’ll then be given access (to the email address you registered with) to your learning materials so you can engage with these before you even arrive in the UK!

You will also be asked what date you expect to arrive in the UK. It’s important you arrive in the UK as soon as your visa allows you to, this will allow you time to settle into your new home, get to know the campus and start to make friends.

When you arrive in the UK, you must collect your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) as soon as possible from the collection point you selected when you made your visa application.

You will need your BRP as well as your admissions and travel documents, all the original documents specified in your CAS letter, your ATAS certificate (if your course requires one) and a formal letter issued by the body or institution that awarded your qualifications, in order to complete your Right to Study check.

The Right to Study (RTS) check ensures we are satisfied you meet all the criteria to study in the UK. If this check is not successful, you will not be able to complete your enrolment.

British and Irish passport holders paying international fees: you will be required to complete an RTS check and you can do this by sending a clear colour copy of the personal details page of your passport to ISC.RTS@coventry.ac.uk.  

All other passport holders paying international fees: you will be required to meet with the Compliance team to complete a face-to-face RTS check. Your RTS checks will be carried out in person at the Student Centre.

Please visit: Student Centre Building, 1 Gulson Road, Coventry, CV1 2JH
Student Centre opening times: Monday to Friday, 9am-4pm, excluding weekends
RTS check dates: From Monday 15 April 2024. The deadline to complete your RTS check is Monday 10 June 2024.

No student ID? No student loan, no access to your accommodation, facilities and services, no important news and updates, no discounts, no fun – it’s that simple.

After you’ve completed your enrolment, you can collect your student ID in person.

Please visit: The Student Centre, Gulson Rd, Coventry & The Refectory, Priory Hall, Priory Street, Coventry
Dates and times: See key dates information at the top of the page. 

All students must provide proof of identity and nationality to get a student ID card.

In order to verify your identity, you’ll need to bring the documentation listed in our accepted proof of identity and nationality document.

Online only or distance students: you will not need a student ID card unless you want to access campus facilities and services.

There may be times when you need to prove your status as a student, e.g. opening a bank account - you can generate a student status letter by logging into the Student Portal or via the Wayfinder app.

All the latest information about your course enrolment, our facilities and services will be on our website, so keep checking back in to stay up to date before you arrive and when you get here. You’ll also find details on the Wayfinder app.
