New students

Welcome to Regent College London (RCL). This page will guide you through everything you need to do before you arrive, so you’re ready to start your course with confidence.

Completing your enrolment

Before starting your course, you must complete your enrolment to become an active student.

The steps may vary depending on whether you are a domestic (UK-based) or international student, so make sure you review the relevant enrolment information. You can also attend a pre-enrolment drop-in session if you need support with the process.

Enrolment process

Before you arrive

There are a few important steps to complete before your first day.

Activate your student email

Once your enrolment is complete, you’ll receive an email with instructions to activate your student email account (e.g., firstname.HE12345@student.rcl.ac.uk). This is your main way of receiving important updates from the College, so make sure you log in as soon as possible and start checking your inbox regularly.

Set up your accounts

After activating your email, you’ll be able to access all your key systems.

Disability support

If you think you may need support settling into student life, or have any concerns about starting your studies, our Wellbeing Advisors are here to talk things through. They can also help you access support resources and workshops to support your wellbeing.
