If you change your name or marry whilst you are on your programme you can email a copy of your deed poll/marriage certificate to the Student Records team at [email protected] and they will change it for you.

If you are not sure what your address will be please leave this as your home address for now. When you do know your address please amend the details in e:Vision. It is your responsibility to ensure these details are kept up to date.

In this box we are asking what type of accommodation you will be staying in whilst you are at university and whether it is owned or rented. This box must be completed before you can continue.

We ask you to provide this information so that it is available in the unlikely event that a situation arises where we consider your health, wellbeing or welfare to be at risk.  

Whilst it is your choice of whom you nominate, usually your emergency contact will be a parent, family member or guardian. Most importantly, they must be in a position to be willing to act on your behalf in the event of a serious incident or emergency where we consider your health, wellbeing or welfare to be at risk. This person does not need to be based in the UK. (If you are under the age of 18, at the time of enrolling on your programme, please ensure one of your emergency contacts is your UK Guardian). 

You should ensure that your emergency contact is: 

1. aware that they have been nominated and that their contact details have been given to the University for this purpose;  
2. readily contactable - wherever possible, please provide a mobile phone number as well as a landline so that contact can be made quickly;  
3. if possible, able to speak English.  

Your emergency contact details are held on the University’s student information system, in accordance with the University’s Student Privacy Notice 

We recognise that you are an individual, with an expectation that information about you is held securely and not shared inappropriately. We will always balance these considerations with your personal circumstances before using the details you have provided and sharing information about you with your emergency contact. It is unlikely that during your time as a student we would ever need to get in touch with your emergency contact and share any personal information, but wherever possible we would try and get your consent first.  

Under current data protection legislation, we are permitted to share personal information about you without your consent where we believe that this is necessary to protect your vital (immediate) interests or those of another person and where it is not possible to obtain your consent. This usually means that you will have been involved in, or that there is a risk of, an incident or an emergency situation where we believe you or others may come to serious or lasting harm.  

The following are examples of circumstances in which we might get in touch with your emergency contact and share personal information, but each case is considered on its own merits. These examples include but are not limited to:  

• You are exhibiting behaviour that may pose a serious risk to your safety and wellbeing or that of others.  
• You have attended or been admitted to hospital in an emergency.  
• You have suffered a serious physical injury, including significant self-harm.  
• You cease to engage with your studies and we have been unable to contact you to confirm your safety and wellbeing.  
• You have not recently been seen in your accommodation, we have been unable to contact you and you are considered missing.  
• You have an ongoing serious illness and you appear to be deteriorating.  
• You are experiencing a mental health crisis.  
• A third party has reported significant concerns and we are not able to contact you to establish your safety and wellbeing. 
• You have been the victim of a serious crime.  

In the event that there are concerns about the health, wellbeing or welfare of a student who is under 18 years old, the University is always obliged to contact the student's parent or guardian.  

Any decision to get in touch with your emergency contact or to share personal information without your consent would be taken by the Associate Director (Student Wellbeing) or their designated nominee, and informed by advice from the Head of Student Conduct, Risk and Information Governance, the Head of Student Life, the Safeguarding Lead and the Counselling and Mental Health Service Manager where possible. We would inform you of this, unless to do so would increase the risk of harm to you or another person. Whenever we share personal information about a student with their emergency contact, we keep a record of the justification for this decision, the nature of the information shared, with whom, and the time and date of the disclosure. 

You can update your emergency contact details in e:Vision at any time and it is your responsibility to ensure these details are kept up to date. 

We ask you to provide two emergency contacts just in case one of them is unavailable.

We need to know about your disability, impairment or long term condition, including mental health to enable us to arrange reasonable adjustments and support necessary to enable you to participate in university life. 

Around 15% of the population have a disability, whether you can see it or not. The University offers a dedicated, confidential advisory service to help students to access the reasonable adjustments they are entitled to, based on their disability, impairment or long term condition and their programme of study.  

Help and support is available. The process is evidence-based, and you will need to register with the Disability Advice or Counselling and Mental Health Service.  

You work in partnership with the Disability Advice team to agree what is reasonable and proportionate considerate of your condition or impairment, to develop a Learner Support Profile (LSP). Only once you have approved the content, will be it accessible to staff who teach on your programme. If you decline to disclose your disability, specific, individualised reasonable adjustments cannot be implemented.  

Please select ‘Two or more impairments and/or disabling medical conditions’.  

If you have indicated you have more than one disability, impairment or long term condition you will be asked a follow up question to gather further data in order to ensure the University is able to support you fully during your studies. 

If you would prefer not to answer you can select ‘Prefer not to say’ in all cases. 

Please select all applicable impairments and/or disabling medical conditions you have and click next.

A care leaver is any adult who spent time in care as a child (i.e. under the age of 18). Such care could be in foster care, residential care (mainly children's homes), or other arrangements outside the immediate or extended family. 

UCAS defines an estranged student as someone who no longer has the support of their family due to a breakdown in their relationship which has led to ceased contact. This might mean their biological, step or adoptive parents, or wider family members who have been responsible for supporting them in the past. More details can be found on the UCAS website and the Student Loans Company website. 

UCAS defines a student with caring responsibility as someone who is responsible for providing unpaid care to someone who has, for example: a long-term illness; a disability; a mental health condition; an addiction; temporary care needs following, for example, an accident or operation.  

The caring responsibilities question does not include childcare unless your child has additional disability, health or support needs. Childcare is covered in the following question.

A refugee is someone who has been compelled to leave their country and cannot return because of a serious threat to their life, physical integrity or freedom as a result of persecution, armed conflict, violence or serious public disorder. It is a legal status that provides an individual with certain rights and protections. An asylum-seeker is someone who has or intends to apply to be recognised as a refugee, but their application has yet to be processed. 

If you would prefer not to answer you can select ‘Prefer not to say’ in all cases. 

If you tick to share the information it will be shared with your personal academic tutor and other relevant University staff, so we are aware of your circumstances and can offer you additional support. This may include additional financial support.

If your parent(s) or carer(s) is serving as a Regular or Reservist in the UK Armed Forces, or has done so in the past, the University would like to know to help with supporting you in your studies.  

As a child from a military family you may have moved schools more often than most students, or you may have felt unable to participate in extra-curricular activities and this can impact on your wellbeing in Higher Education. 

Further guidance and details of further support available can be found on the UCAS website.   

The University defines a commuter student as someone whose home and term time address are both the same and travels into the University for their studies.

You can continue with your enrolment whilst this is being processed. 

If term has started, please complete the fields on this page and upload a copy of your funding confirmation from Student Finance/SAAS for your original university. We will notify Student Finance/SAAS and request your funding to be transferred to the University of Bradford. Once received by Student Finance/SAAS, this process can take up to six weeks to be updated by them. You can continue with your enrolment whilst this is being processed. 

This will depend on the issue with your funding:

Please check your Student Finance/SAAS accounts for any requests for evidence/information they need to continue to process your application. Once Student Finance has approved your application, the University should receive confirmation the next working day to confirm the tuition fee loan amount they will pay to the University directly and this will be updated on your account for you. Until the University receives confirmation of your tuition fee loan, you are responsible for payment of your fees so you may be required to make a payment whilst your funding is processed (this payment will then be refunded once Student Finance/SAAS confirm your tuition fee loan for the full fee charge).  

Please logon to your Student Finance online account / contact Student Finance/SAAS to update the amount of tuition fee loan you have applied for. This is normally updated by Student Finance within 48 hours but can take up to six weeks in some cases.

The University of Bradford offers a screening process that may lead to the diagnosis of dyslexia and other Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs).  This is a four stage process starting with the Screening Questionnaire. A highly confidential, automated process uses the responses you give to recommend the next step in the process.  

All students who enrol with the University are invited to complete the initial screening questionnaire. Although it is optional, we do encourage all students to complete the process.  

We encourage you to complete our screening process at the start of your programme to ensure we can support you appropriately and help you achieve your full potential. 

Please contact the welcome helpline on 01274 236161 or email [email protected]. 

If you are studying on campus you will be issued with your student card when you complete your Welcome and ID check appointment.  

If you are studying off campus your student card will be posted to your contact address. 

If you are completing a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programme your student card will be given to you at your first on campus session or you can collect it from one of the MyBradford desks. 

Please allow a week from the receipt of your completion email and two weeks if you are based overseas. If you have not received one after this time, please contact the welcome helpline on 01274 236161 or email [email protected].
