Registration

Registration is an in-person event with members of our International Admissions and Compliance team. 

You will be advised by our International Student Support team which event you are required to attend, and a time and location. 

Registration takes approximately 20 minutes if you have all the necessary documents with you. 

Documentation required: 

• Passport 

• BRP card/Share code 

• Flight boarding pass 

• Original academic certificate, transcript and notarised translations (if applicable) 

• UK contact address and phone number 

Prior to attending your registration, please ensure you upload your documentation to the correct sections in your “Travel Docs” and “Arrival Docs” sections within CAS Shield.  

If you are unable to attend your designated registration event, you must ensure you communicate this to us using your CAS Shield messaging service so we can make alternative arrangements to complete your registration with you. 

International registration is mandatory and must be completed by all students who are sponsored by the University of Cumbria, under the Student Route Visa scheme.
