All students should ensure they have completed online registration before they return to campus. All students allowed to progress or repeat should have received a link to this, but it can be found in the UCB portal if you search for online registration in the menu.

Full-time

If you are a full-time undergraduate student from the UK who requires a tuition fee loan and/or maintenance support, you should have completed your application and submitted it to the relevant Student Finance provider. See the Money matters section for further Information.
