We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Bristol for the next academic year. There are a number of tasks you need to deal with before the start of term, including registering online and arranging payment of your tuition fees, if appropriate, so please read these pages carefully and follow the instructions.
All students are required to re-register online for each year of their programme of study. This includes students who are due to spend all or part of the year overseas or on a placement away from Bristol.
To re-register online, log into Student Info and select the 'online registration' tab. If you have any problems, first check the online help facility. If you are still unable to resolve the problem, select the 'Contact your faculty' button. Student Info is also available via the MyBristol portal.
At the end of the online registration process, please remember to print out and retain your Certificate of Registration.
If you have any queries regarding your registration, please contact the relevant faculty.
The Student Info screens are available all year and you should make sure that you keep your own contact details and your emergency contact details up to date at all times. This is particularly important for students studying away from Bristol (eg on a placement or on a year abroad).
Please make sure you re-register on time. Failure to do so may result in your access to University facilities and buildings being stopped, and financial consequences such as not receiving necessary funding, scholarships, loans from the Student Loans Company, and the loss of entitlement for exemption from Council Tax.

Tuition fees are due on the first day of each year of your programme of study, but if you wish to use the online payments facility to set up a single payment or recurring payments you will need to set up your payment plan by Saturday 22 September 2012.
Please see the tuition fees for 2012/13. Follow the instructions below appropriate to your particular circumstances:
| Organisation paying fees | Action |
|---|---|
| Student Loans Company | If you are taking out a full tuition fee loan, your fees will be paid direct to the University by the Student Loans Company, so no action is necessary. |
| NHS | You will need to send a copy of your Notification of Award letter to the Income Office straight away so that they can send an invoice to the NHS. If you are on your elective when the award letter reaches you, please provide a copy as soon as possible on your return to Bristol. |
| An external sponsor such as a government department, charity or company | You will need to submit a completed sponsorship authorisation form (PDF) before the start of term. |
| UK Research Council | Your fees will be paid direct to the University by the Research Council, so no action is necessary. |
| University Postgraduate Scholarship, special departmental funding or similar | If you have received written confirmation of funding from the Student Funding Office then you need do nothing. The Student Funding Office will liaise with the Income Office regarding payment of your fees. |
Due date: payment should be made by Wednesday 24 October 2012, unless you choose to pay your fees in two equal instalments (due on 24 October 2012 and 24 January 2013).
