Matriculation
All students must matriculate (register) online each academic session to allow them to continue with their studies.
Students will be sent an email to their University email address, at least two weeks prior to their matriculation deadline, containing instructions on how to complete the process and what is required. Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate students are expected to matriculate by the first day of teaching. Any student who has not matriculated by the deadline (without prior permission to matriculate late from the University) will be charged a £100 late matriculation fee. Permission to matriculate late can only be given by Registry and permission must be sought before the start of Orientation Week. Full details of the Late Matriculation Policy can be found on the Matriculation web page.
Failure to matriculate within the given deadline may result in suspension leading to termination of studies. Further details for Undergraduate and Taught Postgraduate students. Further details for Research students.
Undergraduate students should note that Advising is a compulsory, essential part of matriculation and should be completed during Orientation Week. The procedures vary depending on Faculty, School and level of study. Further information about Advising can be found at Advising and Matriculation.
Study Abroad
If you are going to be away from St Andrews as part of your studies you would have attended the compulsory pre-departure meeting held in April of each year. At this meeting you will have received information on how to matriculate whilst you are abroad using the Online Matriculation System in September. Full details will be sent to your University of St Andrews email account over the summer and you should ensure that you complete the matriculation process by the given deadline even though you are abroad. You will still be liable for a late fee if you do not matriculate by the stated deadline.
