Register as a student
Registration is the official process of becoming a student at university.
It means you can:
- confirm your place on your course
- verify your personal information
- confirm how you’ll be paying your tuition fees
- access your timetable and modules
- get your student loan.
When to register
Registration timelines vary depending on whether you’re a taught student or postgraduate researcher.
Undergraduate students
Undergraduate students can register from 1 September until 27 October 2025.
Taught postgraduate students
Taught postgraduate students (eg Masters) can register from 1 August until 27 October 2025.
Postgraduate researchers
Postgraduate researchers can register from one month before their start date (or the anniversary of their start date, for returning postgraduate researchers). For example, if your start date is September 2025, you’ll be able to register from 1 August 2025. You’ll be contacted by your Graduate School to let you know when registration is open for you.
How to register 
Whether you’re a new or returning taught student or postgraduate researcher, you’ll need to register online every year.
You’ll also need to complete an online identity check if you’re starting a new programme, regardless of whether you have studied at Leeds previously.
Visit our registration pages to find out how to complete your online registration and online identity check. If you have a question or need support with registration, contact the friendly team in the Student Information Service (SIS). You can call, email or speak to the team in person.
Module enrolment
If you're studying on a course with optional or discovery modules, you'll also need to complete module enrolment, which is separate to registration.
