 Welcome to SOAS, University of London. This short video explains for all our new students what you need to do to save time when joining SOAS. Before you arrive at SOAS, you need to complete online registration. So how do you do it? You'll get an email from us when it's time to register. This will include your login details and a link to the online system. The easiest and fastest way to pay your student fees is online by card. Other ways to pay can be found on our website. If you're eligible for an undergraduate student loan or other funding, you should apply as soon as possible to your national funding body. Don't forget to return your signed declaration form. This is the last step in confirming the loan and student finance will let us know when it is complete. If you have sponsorship or other educational loan, please email your funding confirmation to our fees team. If you're a national of a non-EA country, you must have a visa to study at SOAS. If you need a tier 4 visa, speak to our admissions department to obtain a confirmation of acceptance for studies, often referred to as CAS. Make sure you apply for your visa in good time, as we'll need to see this when we enroll you. During Welcome Week, there will be loads of events going on to welcome you and help prepare you for your studies with us. At some point in the week, you will need to attend your enrollment session. We will send you an email confirming the date, time and location of this. If your studies start before Welcome Week, we will enroll you in your first week of the program. At enrollment, we'll check that the information you've entered in online registration is still correct and we'll need to see your photo ID and any other original documents we have asked for you to provide. We will send you an email to let you know what documents to bring with you. You'll find it really beneficial if you can come prepared to complete enrollment in one go because you'll be able to obtain your SOAS ID card, borrow books from the library, access the course materials you need for your classes, make applications for student discount to travel if you're eligible, get official letters from SOAS that will allow you to get a student bank account, council tax exemption and more. Receive the first installment of your student maintenance loan if you have one and avoid having to come back on another day to complete the process. Modules are often referred to as courses at SOAS. Your faculty will tell you the course signup process by email before your enrollment. If you can't attend your enrollment slot, there is an open enrollment session on the Friday of Welcome Week. Check the Welcome Week website to find instructions for late enrollment. Before you arrive at SOAS, make sure you've completed all the relevant checks. Completion of online registration, paid or made provision to pay your tuition fees, including returning your signed declaration to your funding body if you're getting a loan. Apply for a cast if you need to obtain a tier 4 visa. Collect all of the original documents you need, following the information provided in the enrollment bulletin's email to you. Check email so you know when and where to enroll. Read the information on the Welcome Week website. Once you've completed these checks, you're done and ready to join SOAS. If you have any questions, just send us an email, or you can check out the website for more detailed information.
