Registration is the first step of the matriculation process and is required for all new and continuing students each year, including online learners. Annual Registration is the first part of our ‘matriculation’ process. ‘Matriculation’ refers to the process of officially enrolling as a student at the University. There are two main parts to the process that you must do: Before you start (online): Annual Registration When you start: Confirm your attendance What you need to do You will need to register your personal details with the University before you start each year. This is referred to as ‘Annual Registration’. You will be asked to provide some basic information, including: personal and emergency contact details previous qualifications (for new students) confirmation that you wish to accept or decline a programme place confirmation that you have read and accept the University of Edinburgh’s regulations Why you need to do it You should complete registration as soon as possible to confirm your intention to take up your place at Edinburgh, so that we can prepare for you starting your studies with us. When you do it Annual Registration is open to you approximately four weeks prior to your programme start date. Before this time, you may have been asked to fulfil any additional programme-specific admissions criteria, such as evidence of English language proficiency, organising Disclosure Scotland checks, etc. If you were not asked to provide anything extra by your School/College as part of your offer, then you do not need to do anything additional to registration. How you do it You will receive an email to both your student and personal email accounts to let you know when this online form is available for you to complete. If you have not accessed your student email account, you should do this as a priority. Information on getting an email address You can login also log into MyEd and access your student record by clicking onto the following tabs on the MyEd homepage: Accounts > Progression > My student record Information on MyEd You cannot complete any further steps to get ready without completing your ‘annual registration’. You will receive reminder emails if you have not completed this task once term has begun. A step-by-step guide to completing each of these steps can be found on the University Student Systems website: Matriculation Explained (Student Systems website) Next steps - Confirm your attendance The process for confirming your attendance varies between School, types of study, and Programme. Your School will contact you in advance of starting to explain how to confirm your attendance. You can confirm your attendance by accessing your Virtual Learning Environment or alternatively by making email contact with your Programme Team. You won't be fully matriculated as a student until your attendance has been confirmed. This may be a couple of weeks after the programme start date. Familiarise yourself with your VLE Your online degree will be delivered through a Virtual Learning Environment, such as Learn or Moodle. This online learning platform is where you will find all resources relating to your degree. You will have access to the VLE in advance of starting at the University to get familiar with your online course space. Please note you will not be expected to have used a VLE in advance and will receive plenty of support when you start. Discover more about the University's Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) Once you have completed the steps outlined above, you will be able to view your matriculation status and any further required steps by launching the 'My student record' channel in MyEd, and accessing the 'Programme' tab.
