Enrolment
Get enrolled, get involved!
What is enrolment?
When starting university, online enrolment involves you providing confirmation of the details you entered on your application form, paying your tuition fees, registering your course modules and agreeing to the terms and conditions for your course of study. Once complete, you will officially become a student of the University of East London.
Online Enrolment is a critical step – if you do not enrol you do not become a student.
How do I enrol?
When you’re eligible to complete online enrolment, you will receive an email to the email address you used on your application.
This email will include your temporary login details. You will need to log in and choose a new password before you’re able to log on to complete enrolment.
Look out for your invite to enrol and set up your account

Completing the Right to Study Check
You will need to complete the Right to Study check which can be found in the 'My Task' section within UEL Direct. The Right to Study Check allows the university to collect copies of your passport and visa or visa application form at each step of your visa application journey.
International students are considered to be fully enrolled and permitted to study online whilst their enrolment status is 'Enrolled Pending Right to Study'.
You will pass the Right to Study check when you have uploaded all the required documents showing:
- Your visa has been approved and you have arrived in the UK or
- You have submitted an in-time visa application in the UK.
You can find advice personal to you on what documents you need to upload in the Right to Study Check.
