Starting at NTU

How to enrol

To officially register as a student with NTU, you will need to enrol at the start of every academic year. You should be on campus for your course start date to join all necessary induction activities. We encourage you to complete your enrolment as soon as possible once you arrive on campus.

Why it's important to complete your enrolment

Completing your enrolment will:

  • Release your student funding – if you're a UK student, this will happen when you are fully enrolled and have received and activated your NTU student card.
  • Give you access to NOW – your online learning portal, which holds your timetable and course information. Find out how to access NOW from the MyNTU app.
  • Give you access to University buildings and your student email.
  • Confirm your eligibility for council tax exemption (for full-time, fully enrolled students only).

Advice for DBS and FTP eligible courses

If your course requires you to complete a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) or Fit to Practice Occupational (FTP) check, you must do so before you get here. If you haven’t, you won’t be able to fully enrol on your course. Check our list of DBS and FTP eligible courses to find out if this applies to you.

Please email disclosures@ntu.ac.uk if you have any questions about DBS and FTP-eligible courses.
