FAQ
When will I receive my invitation to register online?
Invites will be sent out in August for new (campus based) students joining us in September. If you are a new postgraduate taught student, you can expect to receive an invitation in the week commencing 7 August 2023. For new undergraduate students, invitations will be sent out from Thursday 24 August 2023.
New students will only receive an invitation to register once they hold an unconditional offer and have formally accepted their place on the programme. If you haven’t received an invite to register, and are unsure of any outstanding requirements, please contact our admissions teams:
- Undergraduates – study@le.ac.uk
- Postgraduate Taught – pgadmissions@le.ac.uk
How do I find my tuition fee?

I’ve just paid my fees online, why can’t I register?
Once you have paid your tuition fees online (via ePay), you will need to allow 24 hours before attempting to complete your Online Registration to allow your payment to be processed and your record to be updated. Please be aware that some payment methods can take up to 10 working days to be received. Please refer to our Fees and Funding pages for more information.
My tuition fees will be paid by the Student Loans Company (Student Finance) but MyStudentRecord is showing I need to make payment?
If you have had an application accepted by the Student Loans Company, please send a scan/photo of your confirmation letter to feesandincome@le.ac.uk. Once we’ve had confirmation that your funding is in place, your record will be updated to allow you to register.
