If you are starting your course in January 2026 you will not be able to complete any of these tasks yet. Please wait for your enrolment invitation email. These will be sent in January.
Some courses allow for enrolments at other times. If you have recently received an email inviting you to enrol, please proceed with the steps on this page. Your deadline to enrol will be mentioned in your email.
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:
January students can expect to receive these emails in January 2026.
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.
Any students who are not British citizens will need to send us a copy of their immigration permission or visa which allows them to study in the UK. This check is solely based on nationality, not on whether you pay home or international fees. If you are starting in January, you will receive information in December 2025 about how to complete this check.
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.
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.
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.
