Enrolment and preparing to arrive

This page covers the most important tasks you need to complete in order to be fully ready to begin your studies at Oxford Brookes. Please make sure you prioritise enrolment and (if applicable) your Right to Study checks as these need to be completed by specific deadlines.

It's really important that you can receive emails from Oxford Brookes and take prompt action when you get them. If you applied to us using someone else's email address or one that no longer works, please contact us and we will advise you how to get it updated.

If you have any questions about preparing to study with us please contact induction@brookes.ac.uk. If you need help with your enrolment please contact enrolment@brookes.ac.uk.

Complete your online enrolment

Enrolment is the process all students need to complete in order to become an official Oxford Brookes University student.

You will need your User ID (student number) and password to complete online enrolment. Provided you have an unconditional offer we will send you two emails:

  • one with your User ID (student number)
  • one with a link you will need to use to create your password. This email will arrive within 24 hours of your User ID email.

Once you have access to your User ID (student number) and password you can start your online enrolment in the Student Information portal.

Please note that the link in the second email only lasts for 48 hours but you can request a new password link if yours expires. Please check the emails have not gone into your spam folder.

These checks are for anyone who is not a British citizen, regardless of whether you pay home or international fees. Please read the information on this page carefully.


Your enrolment page will show whether you need to complete the Right to Study checks. The checks are dependent on nationality and all students who are not British citizens will need to complete it. Please send us all the documents listed below, even if you sent some previously as part of the Admissions process.You will not be fully enrolled until you have done this. The information on this page will tell you what we need.

If you have any questions about completing the Right to Study checks, please email us at isct@brookes.ac.uk. If you would rather speak to someone please contact our International Student Advice Team (ISAT).

Further information can be found on the webpage your e-visas and correcting any e-visa errors.

How to complete your Right to Study checks

 

Set up your Oxford Brookes email and calendar

Once you have enrolled you will be able to access your Oxford Brookes email account. It will be available up to two weeks before your first week of classes. You don't have to create this account yourself - it will already be made for you. All you need to do is sign in. 

You will need your User ID (student number) and the password you used for online enrolment.

  1. Go to the sign-in page for Google Accounts. 
  2. In the ‘Email or phone’ box, enter your student number followed by @brookes.ac.uk. For example, 19000000@brookes.ac.uk. Then click next.
  3. Enter your password (the same password you used for online enrolment).
  4. Follow the instructions on protecting your account.
  5. Activate the two-step verification feature.

It is important to activate the two-step verification feature which adds an extra layer of security to your account by sending you an extra code to access your account. You will find this feature in your Google Account settings. More information is available from G Suite support.

Please note your teaching timetable will only appear on Google calendar, not the default calendar already on your device. Some devices may use Google calendar as the default - if so, make sure you are logged in with your Oxford Brookes email credentials and not your personal email.

Collect your student card

Your student ID card proves that you are a student at Oxford Brookes University. You will need this card for various tasks, such as getting books out of the library and accessing the campuses outside of normal service hours. 

As part of your enrolment process you have the option to provide your preferred pronouns which will be printed on your student card. You can select 'prefer not to say' if you do not wish to disclose your pronouns.

You will be emailed when your card is ready for collection but this will only be once you have completed online enrolment and uploaded a photo. Full details about collection will be included in the email.

Please do not come to collect your card until you have received the email confirming that it is ready.
