The enrolment process is what confirms you as an official student.
As a new Home (UK) student, when your place is confirmed and you have met all the other non-academic conditions of your offer such as DBS if applicable to your course, you will be sent an email with instructions of how to enrol to the personal email address given on your current application, with a link to our online enrolment facility. You will be given your student account details within this email, to use to log in and complete your enrolment.
Please note: You will not be able to enrol and should not attempt to do so until you have received your email from Admissions.

New Students
As a new applicant, you will have been sent an email informing you that you are ready to enrol online once your place has been confirmed and you have met all conditions of your offer. You will be given details of your student account log in details within your enrolment notification email and directed to our online enrolment facility to complete your enrolment.
If you have applied for one of our programmes (usually
Part-time,
Postgraduate or Research), starting January, April or July, you will receive this email nearer to your particular start date.
If you have not received the enrolment email, there could be a number of reasons for this:
- You are starting a programme that requires an Enhanced DBS check which has not yet been completed online
- You are starting a programme that requires an Occupational Health check for which Admissions have not received acknowledgement of completion
- You have not sent in your qualifications as requested by Admissions
- Your email has been sent to an old account which you no longer use; or may be sat in your Junk folder
If you fall into any of the above, please contact Admissions who can advise you further.
If you are a
previous Cardiff Met student, you will already have a student account and will need to use your previous login details. If you just need to reset your password, please
