Enrolment and attendance

Please remind your son or daughter that is crucial that students read and keep all the information that the University sends them. Where they need to complete and return any forms to the University, it is important that they do so as soon as possible.

  • When does my son/daughter enrol at Kingston University?
    We will send your son/daughter full information about enrolment so please ensure that they read all the information we provide very carefully.

  • Can I find out about my son/daughter's attendance?
    Due to legal constraints we cannot provide direct responses to third-party enquiries, including those of parents, in relation to, for example, attendance, health, performance or relationships. Via the Student Office, we can of course advise that students contact/inform parents etc, but they are under no obligation to accept such advice.

  • If there is an emergency, can I contact my son/daughter?
    Yes, through the Student Office. Of course you may be able to contact them on their mobile or via their halls of residence also.

  • What are the term dates?
    The University's standard academic year runs from September to July, divided into three terms. Most taught programmes are delivered in two semesters, but the actual dates may vary.

    Term dates for the 2011/12 academic year:
    • Autumn term (new students)
      Monday 19 September 2011 – Friday 16 December 2011
    • Spring term
      Monday 2 January 2012 – Friday 30 March 2012
    • Summer term
      Monday 16 April 2012 – Friday 6 July 2012

However, enrolment takes place throughout the year so students on some courses may start at a different time. Your son or daughter will be able to access full information about their course after they've enrolled online.
