Important steps to follow before
you arrive
To get off to a great start at AECC University College, please ensure you follow the
detailed steps below.
1. Complete online registration
Online registration is your first step to completing your enrolment, and needs to be done before you arrive on campus. It takes about 20 minutes to complete and gives us the information we need about you. Your online registration means you agree to our current regulations and policies. You will also learn how to pay your fees, update and check your student record information, and accept our Student Agreement.
If you have met the conditions of your offer, you will be sent instructions via email end of August giving you a link to the online registration system. If you haven’t received this, please contact admissions@aecc.ac.uk so the team can assist you.
2. Get your qualifications and ID ready for verification
Remember to bring the original documents of your educational qualifications and photo ID, either passport or driving licence to enable us to complete our ID check. Please ensure you have these documents with you when you travel to Bournemouth, if you have overseas qualifications please ensure these have been officially translated in to English.
September starters
Sign up to the Transition Event: This event aims to support you as you start University and help you hit the ground running. The event is co-designed and co-delivered with current students using their own experiences of starting University.
Interactive activities will introduce you to key areas of the University College, how you can access information and support, key study skills and how to look after yourself during your first few weeks at University. There will be the opportunity to get to know other new students starting at the University College and learn about key life and study skills such as budgeting and becoming an independent learner.
