| **Timeframe** | **What’s happening** |
| **1 December 2025 onwards** | **Complete Pre-Enrolment (Stage 1)** From this date we will *start* to send out emails to invite students to complete Pre-Enrolment in [MySIS](https://mysis.qmul.ac.uk/) (including MySIS login details). New students will be processed daily over the upcoming weeks so please do not worry if you haven't received your invitation immediately after this date.  This is the first step to becoming fully enrolled and you can start Pre-Enrolment as soon as you have access to the task - we encourage you to complete it as soon as possible.  The email subject line is '**Pre-Enrolment at QMUL is now available**'.  Pre-Enrolment in MySIS should take about 15 minutes to complete and involves you supplying information about yourself, [uploading an identification document](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/newstudents/enrolment/enrolment-process/enrolment-documentation/) (i.e. passport details page), confirming how you will be paying your tuition fees and uploading a photo for your student ID card.  Unless you are a British or Irish national, if you will be studying in the UK you will be asked if you have arrived in the country yet. If you have not arrived, we ask that you supply the date that you will arrive and return to the task on that date to upload proof of your visa and arrival in the UK. If you have arrived at the point of completing Pre-Enrolment, you will need to upload evidence of your immigration permission and proof of when you arrived in the UK.  You should complete Pre-Enrolment as soon possible after you have been given access to the task in MySIS. The deadline to Pre-Enrol is also your [enrolment deadline](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/newstudents/enrolment/late-or-temporary-enrolment/).  Once you have completed the task you will receive an email with the subject line '**Thank you for completing Pre-Enrolment**'. |
| **1 December 2025 onwards** | **Pay your Tuition Fees** You will need to [pay or make arrangements to pay your tuition fees](https://www.qmul.ac.uk/tuitionfees/) (e.g. set up an instalment plan or provide us with your Student Finance 'Student Support Number' during Pre-Enrolment) with the Fees Office.  **You will not be fully enrolled until you have paid or made arrangements to pay your fees.**  You will be sent guidance on how to pay your fees shortly after completing Pre-Enrolment and an invoice will be sent via email within a few working days. |
| **3 December 2025 onwards** | **Check your IT Access** You’ll receive your IT account details directly from IT Services via email within 72 hours of being invited to complete Pre-Enrolment.
