OSIS log in
When you confirm Kingston as your firm or insurance choice, we will send you an email with a username and password to log in to our online student information system (OSIS). Here you can find out more about why you need to log in, and how to do so.
Remember that you won't be able to log into OSIS until you have made Kingston your firm or insurance choice and received your username and password.
What do I need to log in to OSIS for?
Initially, all you need to do is log into OSIS and complete an online fee assessment.
This will make sure that you're ready to enrol with us if you do decide to come to Kingston, and that we're charging you the right fees. If you're an international student, it will also enable us to send your Certificate of Acceptance to Study (CAS) number in order for you to obtain a visa to enter the United Kingdom. Plus it's important to prevent fraud.
Don't worry though – it doesn't commit you to coming here if you decide that we're not for you after all.
What do I need to do?
Log in to OSIS using the link below and you will be prompted to:
- change your temporary password (the one that we sent you) to a permanent one (that you'll find easier to remember); and
- complete an initial online fee assessment: this is so we can check which fees you should be paying – the rate for Home (UK/EU) students or the rate for Overseas students. We will email you direct once the assessment is complete, either with the outcome or to ask you to complete a fee status questionnaire for further information. If you are an international student and need a CAS number, you will need to log into to OSIS again to request one once your fee status has been confirmed.
Log into OSIS for the first time 
Log into OSIS if you've already changed your password
Remember that you won't be able to log into OSIS until you have made Kingston your firm or insurance choice and received your username and password.
Will I have to log into OSIS again later?
Yes, so try to keep your username and password in a safe place! You will be able to log in on A-level results day (16 August 2012) to see straight away if you have a place here at Kingston.
Shortly after this, we'll contact you again to log in to OSIS to update your details and start the online enrolment process.
Remember that if you are an international student and need a CAS number, you will also need to log into OSIS again to request one once your fee status has been confirmed.
