Please refer back to this page during your Induction week in case of last minute changes.

It is a good idea to:

•   read before you arrive
•   follow any links and check instructions
•   bring with you any documents, etc where these are specified

Some documents may need to be returned to the University before you arrive.

As a new student you are required to upload a photograph of yourself using the e@applicant page: https://eservices.plymouth.ac.uk/app/ following the online instructions. 

The photo is required for your University card which will be issued to new students during welcome week. Failure to provide a photo will delay the production of your University card.  This is not required if you already have a University card i.e. because you were previously a student on another course or at a partner college.

Your University card will remain valid for the duration of your studies at Plymouth University and will become invalid when you programme ends.  Please see:  https://www.plymouth.ac.uk/student-life/new-students/induction/online-enrolment-guidance-notes
