We are excited to have you study with us at York St John University but understand that it may be a stressful time, and there may seem like there's a lot to do. To help you, we have created a pre-arrival checklist:

• Accept your offer to study at York St John University.
  
• Apply for your visa or confirm arrangements for your student visitor visa (if applicable).  Arrange to have your BRP card delivered directly to York St John University by entering alternative location code 2HE867 when you apply for your visa online.  More information on visas can be found here.
• Check your passport - confirm it is valid and does not expire within 6 months of your arrival.
• Arrange medical, dental, and travel insurance if applicable.  Make sure you find out what cover you may need whilst you are in the UK.
• Ensure you have cash (in Pounds Sterling) to live on for a few weeks as opening a UK bank account can take some time.  We recommend that you carry no more than £500 in cash for your safety.
• Create your IT account and complete your online enrolment.  Follow the instructions on your enrolment e-mail and log on to e:Vision to enrol online prior to arriving.
  
• Ensure you have accessed your Welcome Week timetable and know which academic sessions you should attend.  
• Ensure you have looked at the First Few Days webpage and you know what to do once you have arrived here.
  
• Plan your journey - read the Travelling to York webpages and plan how to get to the University.  If you are going to be arriving into Manchester airport, book a place on our collection service by completing the Airport Collection form.
  
• Tell your family/friends/loved ones how you will contact them upon arrival in the UK.  Let them know you have arrived safely, and how the journey was.  Also, let them know who to contact in case of an emergency.

If you have any further questions about starting at York St John then you can contact the International Student Support team for more help.
