School Enrolment
Have you enrolled? You are expected to enrol for your course, and this must be done before the deadline. Your institution would have emailed you on the last date for enrolment. To avoid issues, you need to complete the enrolment process. Once you complete this, the institution issues your student ID card. When you get your student ID card, you must request your school's online access to see the student portal. Please speak to your school student desk.
NHS Registration
On your arrival, you can register with the National Health Scheme by locating a general practice surgery close to where you stay. This is important for you to do. Incase you find yourself having any health challenges, you can easily call your GP for surgery or visit them for consultation. Use the link below to locate the closest GP clinic and call them to register
Bank Account
Have you opened a bank account? Once you complete your registration, you will need to get a letter from your institution, indicating your address and identifying you as a student. This would allow you to open an account. Most banks would advise you do this online and then later come over to their branch to identify yourself. But in the meantime, you can open an online bank account with Monzo or Revolute.
Council Tax Exemption
As a student you are exempted from paying council tax. However, once you are able to secure an accommodation and also completed your enrolment in school, you are advised to request for council tax exemption letter which you would need to present at your local council or accommodation provider.
