This is the first step to complete your online pre-registration for your programme. You will receive a step-by-step guide via an email inviting you to complete your online pre-registration from Thursday 22 August onwards. This includes: activating your account, creating your own unique personal password, uploading your documents and photograph for your student ID card.

Online pre-induction

This is an online resource for you to learn all about the services the university has to offer. It also includes booking links for halls drop-off, faculty and programme welcome, including details of your on-campus induction schedule. The link for this will be sent to you after you have completed pre-registration. 

Registration

For Home (UK) students – once you have completed your online pre-registration your ID card will be issued to you via your faculty during induction week. The faculty will be sending you instructions on when you can collect your card.  Your induction week starts on Monday 23September.

For international students – once you have completed your online pre-registration you will be sent an email inviting you to book your face-to-face appointment, which will be on the DMU campus. During your appointment, your ID will be checked, you will be updated on your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) status and given your student ID card to complete your registration. This begins from Wednesday 18 September in readiness for your induction week, which starts on Monday 23 September.
