What is matriculation?
Matriculation is the process by which you will be formally admitted to the University of Edinburgh.
All students must matriculate with the University at the beginning of their studies, and then matriculate for each new academic session thereafter.
Matriculation carries with it the agreement to abide by University rules. This includes payment of your tuition fees and other related costs, and allows access to the services and facilities offered to you by the University.
For new students matriculation consists of three elements, all of which must be completed before you are fully matriculated as a student of the University:
- Registration - registering at the University by completing a matriculation form and making arrangements for the payment of your tuition fees. Completion of the registration process is only one of the components required for full matriculation at the University of Edinburgh.
- Meeting with your Director of Studies or Supervisor and, where appropriate, agreeing your courses. The College/School in which you will be studying will supply you with details about the arrangements for meeting your Director of Studies.
- Fulfilling any admission criteria if prescribed by your College.
