Enrolling as an International Student.

Watch our International Enrolment Step-by-Step and Enrolling as an International Student videos. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Wolverhampton and want to ensure you arrive and enrol safely. You must complete your online enrolment before you arrive to the UK. Failure to complete your online enrolment tasks before your course start date will result in withdrawal of sponsorship.

As soon as you get your CAS and the eVision enrolment task becomes available, it's important to complete your online enrolment while you're still in your home country. You don't need to wait for your visa decision to complete your online enrolment.

1. Complete Online Enrolment
Log into e:Vision using your student number and password. You must begin your enrolment tasks as soon as you get your CAS, even if you don’t have your visa decision.

2. Upload Required Documents on the Right to Study tile
Provide the following as soon as you have these:

  • Passport
  • Share code (beginning with 'S')
  • UK flight evidence (e.g., ticket or boarding pass)
  • Full UK address (your UK address must be within 1 hour of campus)
  • UK mobile number

  The Student Visa Compliance and Advice team will check and pass your documents and UK address details.

3. Attend On-Campus ID Check
When your documents are all passed, you'll receive a message in eVision to complete your on-campus ID check. Once instructed, bring your passport to the ASK@WLV team on campus to complete this check.

4. Full Enrolment
After the ID check is completed, you'll be fully enrolled.

Remember:

  • Don’t wait for your visa: Start online enrolment as soon as you receive your CAS.
  • Don’t delay: Late enrolment can lead to course and visa sponsorship withdrawal.
  • Submit all documents first: You can't complete the ID check until all documents are passed.
  • Download your Student Visa Compliance Checklist.
  • Ensure you understand your university visa responsibilities.
  • You must inform the Student Visa Compliance and Advice team of your visa decision as soon as you have this by updating your eVision. We hope your application is successful in time of your course start date.
  • If you receive a visa refusal, send your visa refusal letter to RTS@wlv.ac.uk so the team can advise.

Returning international students: Log in to e:Vision to complete your enrolment tasks, update your UK mobile number and UK address (within one hour of campus), then bring your passport to ASK@WLV for your on‑campus ID check to be fully enrolled.

We look forward to supporting you on your enrolment journey.

Failure to provide acceptable address details will result in withdrawal of sponsorship/place on your course. 

Keep your contact details up to date

Sharecode for Right to Study

A sharecode is a unique code generated through the UK View and Prove service, which allows the University to verify your immigration status. Generate and upload this to your eVision enrolment page before you travel to the UK.

How to Generate Your Sharecode

  1. Visit the View and Prove service.
  2. Select "Prove your immigration status for other purposes" (e.g., for university right to study checks).
  3. The system will generate your sharecode, which will start with the letter 'S'.

Your sharecode is valid for 90 days.
Ensure you provide a valid sharecode when completing your Right to Study checks.
A sharecode which begins with W will not be accepted for a Right to Study check.
