Registration Process
Click to access your Student Self Service
Login to Student Self Service using your Oxford Single Sign On (SSO), and navigate to 'My Student Record' if you are not redirected there automatically. You will need to check your personal, contact, academic and other information and confirm that you wish to be enrolled at the University of Oxford. Press the 'start' button next to each incomplete section to begin.
The University’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Single-Sign On process requires you to sign in by entering your username (SSO) and a domain. It should be entered as: [email protected] (please note the capital letters).
You must complete all sections and click “finish” in order to complete your registration. Each of the sections that show as “incomplete” needs to be completed before the “Register” button will become ungreyed and you can submit your registration.
For students on the first year of a new course, registration and enrolment consists of two steps:
Step 1
Log in to Student Self Service using your Single Sign On (SSO) to confirm your personal details. If you have not received or cannot remember your login details, please contact IT Services for help. If you are not taken directly to the registration prompt after clicking these links, please click on “My Student Records” once you are logged into Student Self Service.
Please note that if you have been at Oxford before, whether as student or staff member, you will retain your original SSO, but may need to contact IT Services for help changing your password. Please see our FAQs for more information.
Use the “Next” button to progress after each page and click “Confirm” in the Declaration section at the end of the process to complete. “Save and Exit” can be pressed at any point to pause the process and return to it later.
Please note that you will not be able to access an Enrolment Certificate until you are fully enrolled.
Step 2
If this is the first year of your course, your college (or department, if you do not have a college) will need to complete your enrolment at the beginning of term after you arrive in Oxford. They will be in touch about arrangements for this (let them know if you will not be in Oxford for the start of term). Once your college or department has completed their part of the registration process you will be fully enrolled and you will have complete access to Student Self Service, including the downloadable enrolment certificate. If you are an international student they will also have to record your passport and visa/BRP card (if applicable). They may require you to send scans of these and/or present them after arrival – practice will vary. Please check with your college/department if you are unsure.
If you are a continuing student, you will only need to complete Step 1 to finalise your registration and enrolment for this academic year.
Once enrolled, student maintenance loans and grants (where applicable) will be paid directly in to your bank account following the first day of term for your course (allow three to five working days) in addition to any tuition fee loans paid to the University. You are now able to print your enrolment certificate as proof of student status. Please allow 15 minutes for the system to update following your self-registration.
