Before You Enrol

Do not ignore enrolment emails

You need to enrol to continue studying or make corrections to a thesis, receive module results or gain an award.

Sort out your tuition fee funding

Make your application for a UK student finance loan to Student Finance England, Wales or Northern Ireland (the Student Loans Company). If you have a loan from the Student Loans Company, your fees will be paid by your tuition fee loan/grant and your maintenance loan will be paid after you enrol.
If you have sponsorship from your employer, trust, council or embassy send us a Confirmation of Sponsorship form or a letter from your sponsor to studentfinance@swansea.ac.uk.
Otherwise please make your own arrangements to pay when you enrol online by card or pay later by direct debit. You can pay in advance by logging into your Swansea University Account, tap the Intranet and Financial Transactions.

Paying your bills

If you rely on a bursary, scholarship, grant or loan to pay your bills, please note the first payment is made after you enrol and the start of term and may not be in your bank account by the 1st day of the month. To avoid going overdrawn, we advise direct debits/making regular payments after the 7th day of the month.
If you have not received a University maintenance payment (stipend) you were expecting, please contact the Finance Payments section.

Accessing your account and apps

Your Swansea University Account gives you access to University apps, for example your email, Intranet (enrolment, student record, timetable), Canvas (online module and course content), eVision RMS (research student progression).
MySwansea is your home for all things Swansea University, including enrolment, emails, timetables, campus maps and much more. The MySwansea App is easy to use. Once downloaded, just enter your university login details to get started.

- Every year before enrolling send us your Staff Bursary Application form available from the HR policies and procedures staff web page under section Employment and Contractual Arrangements.
- If your bursary does not pay 100% of your tuition fee when you enrol online you will need to pay the balance by card or set up a direct debit.

In person registration on campus

It is important to register in person your non-UK/Irish passport and right to study immigration documents or eVisa share code as soon as possible after your arrival with Visa Compliance. When your documents have been registered you can then complete the other steps of enrolment online.

For information about booking appointments, browse the Visa Compliance web page and video.

Remote registration

If you are on a placement abroad or studying a wholly online course within the UK, please email a copy of your passport and a share code for your eVisa to Visa Compliance, who will advise you on the next steps.

If you are studying your course wholly overseas outside the UK, Visa Compliance will update your record to permit you to enrol online. A right to study in the UK check is not required.

Visa right to study check

Check your visa has not expired and covers the duration of your course. If you need to extend your visa, contact Visa Compliance as soon as possible.

Tuition Fees

The last step of enrolment is paying your fee or having a student finance loan, bursary, scholarship or grant in place to pay on your behalf.

Funded students

If you have a 100% student loan or University bursary, scholarship or grant to pay your tuition fee on your behalf then you will not need to make a payment when you enrol online.

If you have other sponsorship, for example an embassy or employer or trust is paying towards your fees send a Confirmation of Sponsorship form or sponsor letter by email to studentfinance@swansea.ac.uk and the Student Records Office will email you when the details are recorded and you can complete online enrolment.

Self-funding students

In the fee payment step of online enrolment you can:

Pay 100% of a UK home fee by card or set up a direct debit to pay later in three instalments. For September entry, the first direct debit payment is due in November.
Pay 50% of an international overseas fee by card or use Convera to make an international payment. For September entry, the first international fee payment is due at enrolment.
For details of when to pay browse payment schedules and deadlines.

Withdrawal for non-payment

It is very important to have sufficient funding to pay for your studies on time and avoid the risk of being withdrawn from the university.
