The Online Student Information System (OSIS) holds information about your application and if you are applying for a course that requires an interview you will use this to book your slot.
When it's time to complete your enrolment, you will also use OSIS to complete your fee assessment and provide us with the information that goes on to create your student record.
If you have any technical difficulties using OSIS, please contact our IT Team, who will be able to help.
Step 1: Stay in touch
This is possibly the most important thing to do. We usually communicate with you by email, so please remember to:
Give us and UCAS your correct email address and check it regularly.
Make sure our emails are not treated as junk mail. To do this, add ‘@kingston.ac.uk' to your 'safe senders' list.
Make sure you have not unsubscribed from emails from us. If you think you may have, just send us an email and we will opt you back in.
Step 2: Book to attend an Offer Holder Day
It's very important that you join us at one of our Offer Holder Days on:
Wednesday 9 April 2025
Offer Holder Days are exclusive events for our undergraduate applicants. They will enable you to test drive your course and meet your soon-to-be classmates and lecturers.
Step 3: Apply for student finance, funding and bursaries
If you are a UK student, you can apply for a student loan from February/March 2025 onwards.
You don't need to have made your final choice of university before applying, it is more important that you don't miss the May deadline.
If you apply 'on time' (we suggest before Easter), it's guaranteed your loan will arrive in time for the start of term. If you apply later than this, your loan may be delayed.
Step 4: Accept your offer
As soon as you hear back from all your university choices, you can select Kingston as your firm choice using your UCAS Hub account.
You don't have to wait until after the Offer Holder Day if you know for sure you want to accept our offer.
There are a series of important deadlines depending on when you receive your offers, so please make sure you keep your eye on UCAS Hub to ensure you don't miss any.
Step 5: Apply for accommodation
Only when you have firmly accepted us as your first choice institution will you be able to book accommodation.
Join us at a webinar, Offer Holder Day or an Open Day to talk to our staff about what is on offer.
Step 6: Check your fee status
The cost of your course fees varies depending on the course and your status as either a Home or International student. All course fees are published on the relevant course pages on our website.
In order for your fee status to be assessed you will need to provide further details on our Online Student Information System (OSIS), which is the portal where we store your information. You will receive an email from our admissions team with information to access OSIS.
Step 7: Look out for emails from your course team
From May onwards you'll start to receive more formal communications from us regarding Welcome and enrolment.
You'll hear from people like your course leaders who will give you some insight in to what to expect when you start your course, plans for Welcome Week and anything you need to do in the summer to prepare, such as a reading list or a summer activity.
Don't miss out, add [email protected] to your safe sender list.
Step 8: Join Head Start
It's natural to feel apprehensive about starting university and that's why we've designed Head Start.
Head Start is free for students to attend and is held on campus and online. It takes place over the summer months and will help prepare you for life as an undergraduate student boosting confidence to succeed in higher education.
You will get to meet current students to find out what it's really like to study at Ji8¸£ÀûÍø and start making friends with other new students. There will be exclusive question panels including our accommodation, health and wellbeing and money advice teams. You can also join academic skills sessions to gain valuable advice and guidance about studying at university as well as meet Kingston Students' Union to find out about clubs and societies.
Step 9: Get your results
If you're waiting for your results, we're here to support you. If things go well, we'll be celebrating with you, but if things don't quite go according to plan, then give us a call – you may be able to secure a place though Clearing.
On A-level results day, UCAS sends us some results directly. You can look on UCAS Hub to check your application status. This is where you'll see if you have met your conditional offer or not.
Our results hotline is 0800 0483 334 and opens in June each year.
Step 10: Complete your enrolment
Enrolment is the process of becoming an official Kingston University student. It is online and involves you providing us with information that creates your student record.
You'll be invited by email to complete the first stage of your online enrolment from mid August, but only when your status is ‘unconditional firm' – so it's really important if you're holding a conditional offer that you send us proof of meeting your conditions (e.g. your exam results) as soon as possible.
It's important to complete your enrolment as soon as possible when we ask you to do it as it will unlock things like your course timetable and student funding.
Congratulations - you made it!
When you have completed steps 1 to 10, you'll be a Kingston University student!
During Welcome Week, you'll:
- take part in your course induction, where you'll meet your lecturers and get all the practical information you need to know before you begin your studies
- complete a Welcome to Kingston module, which will give you the lowdown on each of the support areas available to you and how you can access the support when you need it
- take part in a variety of Welcome and Freshers' events and activities – whatever your interests there will also be some fun and social activities for you to enjoy too.
Welcome Week is a great way to make sure our students settled into life at Kingston, giving you the opportunity to meet new friends and have some fun.
You'll receive detailed Welcome and Induction emails from us throughout the summer, so don't miss out, add [email protected] to your safe sender list.
