The Enrolment Timeline

Below you will find an overview of the timeline of the enrolment process and your first few weeks at Queen Mary. You may not complete all activities in the order they are listed below, however, the first activity of receiving an invitation to complete Pre-Enrolment is the first step to becoming a Queen Mary student.

Please be advised that the dates below relate to the September 2023 enrolment period. For those programmes starting in any other month, your dates will be different however the timeline below should give you an idea of timeframes and what you can expect during the lead up to starting your programme.

Timeframe

What’s happening

22nd August onwards

Complete Pre-Enrolment (Stage 1)

From this date we will start to send out emails to invite students to complete Pre-Enrolment in MySIS (including MySIS login details). This is the first step to becoming fully enrolled and you can start Pre-Enrolment as soon as you have access to the task - we encourage you to complete it as soon as possible.

The email subject line is 'Pre-Enrolment at QMUL is now available'.

Pre-Enrolment in MySIS should take about 15 minutes to complete and involves you supplying information about yourself, uploading an identification document (i.e. passport details page), confirming how you will be paying your tuition fees and uploading a photo for your student ID card.

You should complete Pre-Enrolment as soon possible after you have been given access to the task in MySIS. The deadline to complete Pre-Enrolment is also your enrolment deadline.

Once you have completed Pre-Enrolment you will receive an email with the subject line 'Thank you for completing Pre-Enrolment'.

22 August onwards

Pay your Tuition Fees

You will need to pay or make arrangements to pay your tuition fees (e.g. set up a payment plan or provide us with your Student Finance 'Student Support Number' during Pre-Enrolment) with the Fees Office.

You will not be fully enrolled until you have paid or made arrangements to pay your fees.

You will be sent guidance on how to pay your fees shortly after completing Pre-Enrolment and an invoice will be sent via email within a few working days.

25 August onwards

Check your IT Access

You’ll receive your IT account details directly from IT Services via email within 72 hours of being invited to complete Pre-Enrolment. You’ll now be able to access QMplus, the QM App, your QM email account and Eduroam (campus wi-fi). You don’t need to have completed Pre-Enrolment or be enrolled to have access but you do need to have been invited to start the Pre-Enrolment task.

Use the 24/7 Live Chat facility or call +44 020 7882 8888 to speak with IT Services if you have not received this email or you cannot access your accounts.

4th September onwards

Queen Mary Enrolment (Stage 2)


  • Undergraduate and Postgraduate Taught Students: Queen Mary Enrolment will start on 4th September
  • Postgraduate Research Students: Queen Mary Enrolment will start on 4th September

Queen Mary Enrolment will start for students who have completed Pre-Enrolment in MySIS and uploaded a suitable identification document (e.g. passport biographical details page). We cannot proceed with Queen Mary Enrolment if you have not uploaded suitable ID.

The Enrolment team will check your Pre-Enrolment information and, if everything is correct and you have paid or made arrangements to pay your fees, will fully enrol you.

You may be given temporary enrolment if you have not arranged your fee payment or further information is required.

You can check your full/temporary enrolment status in MySIS. Guidance is in our Enrolment FAQ 'How do I know when I am enrolled?'.

4th September onwards

Activate your Gradintelligence Account – Student Status Letter

Once you have received confirmation that you are fully enrolled, an account will be created for you with Gradintelligence, the service provider of our official Student Status Letter. Your letter is your proof of enrolment and can be used as a bank letter and for council tax exemption purposes. Check your QM email account for your account activation request!

13th September onwards

Find out when to collect your Student ID Card

We will email students based on campus to inform them of where and when to collect their ID card from the Mile End Campus during a personal ID card collection slot or a drop-in session. Our ID Card Collection webpage provides full guidance.
