Welcome guide

Practical information and advice to help you prepare for joining us at Leeds.

What’s next? 

If you’re joining us this September, we’ll be in touch via email from late August with information to help you plan what to do next. 

If you have deferred your place and are planning to study with us next year, we’ll be in touch with you the August before you start your studies.  

We’ll give you information about:  

  • registration – how and when to register as a student and what documents you’ll need to do this 
  • welcome and induction activities 
  • accommodation. 

Accommodation  

Confirmation of which residence you have been allocated to depends on when you apply. Find out more on our accommodation website.  

If you’re planning to commute to the University, make sure you join the Leeds University Union Commuters’ Society.   

Things you can do now 

Before you receive your welcome information there are things you can do now to help you prepare. 

Prepare for your visa application

If you are an international student planning to come to Leeds on a Student visa, you will need a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies). We will contact you about your CAS and you don't need to do take any action to request this. We encourage you to visit our Student Visa pages so that you can prepare the documentation you will need for your visa application whilst you wait to receive your CAS. 

Tuition fees 

If you’re from the UK and wish to receive government funding you should apply for this now, if you’re eligible and haven’t done so already. More information is on the GOV.UK student finance webpage.  

Consider how you’ll pay your tuition fees if you’re self-funding. Your welcome information will tell you how and when to make your payment. Don’t bring large sums of cash into the UK if you’re coming from overseas; all fee payments are electronic.   

Beware of fraudulent payment requests. If you’re not sure if a communication from the University is genuine then please contact the Undergraduate Fees team at UGfees@leeds.ac.uk to check.   

Documents to prepare  

To help with your arrival and registration, ensure you have easy access to:   

  • your passport (or national identity card if you’re from the EEA). This should include your visa/immigration permission if relevant. If you’re from the UK and you don’t have a passport, you’ll need to bring a completed copy of our identity verification form
  • your original exam certificates if you sat your exams outside the UK or before this year. You may need these to register.
