Online Pre-registration

All students are required to complete online pre-registration before starting their course.  Upto 4-weeks before the start of your course, you will be sent email inviting you to complete online pre-registration. The email contains a link to the process.

The applicant portal will show you if you have any outstanding admissions requirements. Please upload any required evidence to the portal. You won’t be fully registered until all of the requirements are met, this includes a DBS where required.

We advise you to complete pre-registration on a laptop or PC not a mobile phone.

We can also have your student identification card, your Cumbria card, created in advance - all you have to do is upload your photo during the pre-registration process.

If you experience any problems with online registration or need any help or advice, please contact datamanagement@cumbria.ac.uk.

Hints and tips for pre-registration

- You do not need to complete this task in one go, the system will remember at which stage you left the process and the next time you log back in you will resume where you left off.

- You will be asked for your term-time address which you may not know at this stage. Don’t worry, you can let us know this later.

- You will be asked for a Trusted Contact. You can find out more about this on our Trusted Contacts information page.

- Remember to complete all of the mandatory fields, these are pink and marked with an asterisk.

- There is also the opportunity to declare a disability/spld during this process, and to consent to share this information with your academic team. Once completed, you will be automatically contacted by our disability team.

- Online pre-registration includes a photo upload facility, enabling us to create and activate your Cumbria Card before you arrive, saving you time at registration and providing you with immediate access to the benefits of your Cumbria Card. Please read our guide to uploading photos.

- If you have any outstanding admissions requirements after attending a registration event, our admissions office will email you to let you know what you need to provide before you can be fully registered.

Please complete the online pre-registration process as soon as possible after receiving the email from us and remember if you upload your photo you will be able to access the benefits of the Cumbria Card immediately after start on programme.
