New Students
Enrolment
It's important that you enrol online before the first day of term. Enrolment opens two weeks before you start your studies. We'll email you to remind you and guide you through the process. To enrol you'll need your log in and password, which we will have emailed to you when you accepted your place.
If your placement at Falmouth is conditional, send in your qualification certificates as soon as you have them. Simply email a digital copy, or post photocopies if you prefer.
International students
If you are an international student holding a tier 4 visa you should complete your registration as soon as you arrive (or within 2 weeks of your studies starting) – it is an important condition of your stay in this country. You can do this by visiting the Falmouth Desk during Welcome Weekend. You will need to bring your valid passport with you as we are required by UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) to verify and register your immigration details. We’ll issue your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) at the same time, if you’ve chosen to have it sent directly to Falmouth University. If you’ve chosen to collect your BRP yourself from a Post Office, please bring it with you to the Registration Desk to be copied and verified.
Guidance and advice before you arrive
The Compass is a student information service, that offers help and advice on any aspect of university life whether you have a quick query or require specialist support. From student funding to mental health, housing or accessibility they're here to find the answers and give you the support you need throughout your university life.
Falmouth's mentoring scheme matches all new first years with existing students, to help you settle in. They're volunteers from your specific course, there to answer any questions you might have, and to be a friend throughout your first year at Falmouth.
One of our friendly Student Mentors will give you a call from mid-summer onwards. If you would prefer them to contact you online, just let them know on studentmentors@falmouth.ac.uk
The Student's Union has over 130 activity groups, advice and student voice information. They also run all our Freshers' events across both campuses and Falmouth town.
