ID and enrolment process
There are a number of short tasks you need to complete before you begin your studies at Keele. Take a look at the information below to see what you need to do next.
Enrolment is the short online task you need to complete to confirm your place at Keele and must be done before you begin your course. It includes confirming the information we hold about you is correct and providing us with a photo for your Keele Card student ID.
Please note that if you are eligible for home status for student tuition fees, you are not required to enrol in person.
If you are an international student, you will need to present your original passport and immigration documents in person to our Immigration Compliance and Advice team before the last date of arrival on your CAS to complete your enrolment. Failure to present your original passport and immigration documents will result in your studies being terminated and your visa sponsorship cancelled.
The first thing you'll need as a Keele student is access to your IT account. Once your place is confirmed, we'll send this information to the email address you gave us when you applied to the University.
If you have not received your IT account information within one week of your official starting date at Keele or you do not have an email address, please contact studentrecords@keele.ac.uk to arrange for this information to be sent to you.
Don't worry if you have mislaid or forgotten your password - you can reset it at keele.ac.uk/it - just click on the 'Password Resets' tab. If you experience problems, please email it.service@keele.ac.uk for support.
Once your place at Keele has been confirmed, we'll email the address you gave us when you applied to the University.
If you're a home student: the email we send will ask you to upload your ID and a photo for your Keele Card on the University's eVision system. We need to check your ID before we can send you the instructions to complete our online enrolment process, so please upload it as soon as possible.
Once you begin the process, you will see a list of the types of ID we can accept.
- Go to eVision at scims.keele.ac.uk.
- Log in by entering your student email address and password.
- Once you have successfully logged in, click on the 'ID upload' link and follow the on-screen instructions which will guide you through the process.
Once you have completed your ID upload you will be asked to provide a photo of yourself so we can produce your Keele Card. Please allow up to five working days for us to check your ID.
If you're an overseas student: the email we send will explain how to begin your enrolment process. Please complete this as soon as possible.
We'll send an email to your new Keele email account explaining how to log in to the eVision online enrolment task, and from there all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions.
The process is mandatory and you will need to:
- Supply us with the details of a person we could get in touch with in case of an emergency.
- Check and confirm other information we hold about you which will save you time when you begin your studies.
- Electronically sign a declaration at the end of the process.
