Enrolment information for overseas students

Start by uploading two photos for your Manchester Metropolitan student record. One should be a clear passport-style photo of yourself, the second a photo of your passport, driving licence or similar government-issued photo ID.

This is a required part of your enrolment and must be completed even if you have shown passport and photo elsewhere during the application process.

Log in using your eight-digit student ID number found on your confirmation letter. For your initial password, use your date of birth in the case-sensitive format ddMmmyy (eg: 01Jan02). 

Our Visa Compliance team is required to confirm your whereabouts when you arrive in the UK and to check your immigration documents before you can enrol online. This is known as a right to study check. You will not be able to enrol until several days after this is completed after arriving in the United Kingdom.

During this check, the Visa Compliance team will assess your immigration status to confirm you are eligible to start your academic journey. If UKVI has told us they have used your CAS in a visa application, you will receive an email about how to complete a Right to Study check. Documents you need to submit will include:

• Passport
• Travel Visa; or
• Biometric Residence permit; or
• Proof you submitted a visa application to apply for entry or leave to remain in the UK

Find useful information on what we expect from you and what you can expect from our support services whilst you are enrolled at Manchester Met here.

If you have not received your visa yet, you should still complete any right to study form sent to you so we can understand how long it will take you to arrive.

You can complete a right to study check up to and including the latest date you can arrive for your course, however you cannot enrol fully for your course until you have arrived in the UK and provided a copy of your immigration permission.

Enrol online using your student ID and password to log in. Please note it may take 3-4 days after submitting your Right to Study check materials to become eligible to enrol.

You should complete online enrolment prior to starting your course and you’ll need to enrol each year you study with us.

Online enrolment verifies we have you listed on the correct course. It asks you to confirm contact information and payment arrangements. There are also questions that we have to ask for statistical and reporting purposes.

Visit your Welcome page for a personalised induction from your faculty, information about your course and any reading or projects to complete before starting. You’ll also find reading list links and a timetable once it is published. Some Welcome pages may not be immediately visible, so try back in a few days if you experience difficulty.

Students on some professional, research and modular courses may be contacted directly via email from their faculty with this information.

Visit the Welcome Events calendar for info on social and learning events to help you find your way.

ID cards are available from the Student Hub during normal business hours.

Please allow three business days after completing online enrolment (including upload of photo and ID) before collecting your ID card. 

If you are a distance learner, you may not need an ID card, but see the instructions if you would like to request one. 

Once you have your Manchester Met student ID card you should carry it with you whenever you are on campus. A valid student ID card is required for access the Library and other facilities. Ensure you make a note of your student ID number until you have your card.

It is essential that you attend all the scheduled course activities from the first day of term to ensure that you get the best start to your university studies.

Once enrolled, log in at MyMMU to access resources including your email and Moodle, where you’ll find resources to help you prepare for studying at Manchester Met. Make sure to visit the Getting Ready to Learn module on Moodle to help get a good start to your studies.
