New Undergraduate Students - September 2012
Evening Degree Entrants
Entrance and Matriculation Process
Before the start of Evening Degree teaching in September 2012 you must go through the matriculation (registration) process at the University.
Below are the 7 steps to be completed by entrant students, that is students who are matriculating (registering) at the University for the first time.
Open your computer account and activate your University email
Your University email address is yourusername@st-andrews.ac.uk. Your username is included in the entrant email from Registry. You will set up your password when you open your account.
Opening, regularly checking and using your University email account is compulsory. You can check your email with SaintMail.
If you find you have problems with opening your computer account, don't worry. Help is available from the IT Helpdesk or when you come for Matriculation on Saturday 8 September.

Step 2 - Arrange funding for your tuition fees
Ensure any funding is in place: see the fees information, available via the Evening Degree webpages or the information in your Evening Degree Welcome Pack (on Fee Waiver, Part-time Fee Grant, ILA200 etc.). Find out about paying fees and payment deadlines.
You will not be able to complete the matriculation process on Saturday 8 September unless you pay your fees, so please make these arrangements in good time.
Please note that it is University policy not to send out invoices to students for payment of tuition as all the fee information is published on our web pages.

Changes in fees
The University Court reserves the right to make changes in fees without notice at any time before or after a candidate's admission. - Liability for tuition fees
Entrants should note that it is a condition of registration with the University that they accept liability for their tuition fees.

Step 3 - Apply for your student ID card
Apply for your student ID (matriculation) card.
You should be able to collect your card during the Study Essentials sessions or on Saturday 8 September at Matriculation. This card is also your library borrowing card, and it is a swipe card which will give you access to University buildings, such as the open-access computer classrooms and the commuter students' room.

Step 4 - Disabilities
