Everything you need to do before you start your course
Please make sure you complete any of these tasks that apply to you. This will ensure you have everything set up and ready for you to begin your studies.
The Student Induction Team can advise you about any of the tasks on this list. Feel free to chat with us below.
Don't forget to connect to campus WiFi once you arrive.
Enrolment is the process all students need to complete in order to become an official Oxford Brookes University student. We will send you an email inviting you to enrol.
If you are not a UK national you will also need to complete your Right to Study checks to be fully enrolled. You can do them either before or after your online enrolment.
During Induction Week, most courses will have their own programme of events that you must attend. Please make sure to find and follow yours.
You will be able to access your email, class timetable and other online platforms at Oxford Brookes from Monday 7 September provided you have enrolled successfully.
You'll need to register any optional modules by the end of Induction Week. Compulsory modules will appear on your timetable automatically.
Your student ID card proves you attend Oxford Brookes and has a number of other benefits too. Make sure to collect yours when we notify you it's ready.
The Inclusive Support Service provides advice and support for disabled students and those with long-term physical and mental health conditions. They are happy to discuss with you the options for support at university, from your studies to your accommodation.
It's really easy to get around Oxford by bus. A discounted student bus pass gets you travel for a year or semester on all city centre services. Whether you want to commute between home and University or you just fancy exploring, a bus pass may save you money long-term.
We recommend registering with a doctor and dentist as soon as you can so that you are able to access medical care straight away if needed. If you will be living in Oxfordshire you are welcome to register with the doctor and dentist on the Headington Campus if you wish.
In addition to the above, there are some other things you might want to think about doing before you start at Oxford Brookes or as you settle in. It's up to you to decide which of these might be interesting or helpful. Our team are here to help, so if you aren't sure what might be relevant to you, please feel free to contact us for advice.
