Travel to the UK

You will only be able to fully complete online registration once you have arrived in the UK and have uploaded a stamped entry clearance vignette or travel documents confirming date of entry or a Share code (EU/EEA and Switzerland). However, you can partially complete certain elements of the registration criteria before you arrive, including the mandatory training courses.

If you were issued a CAS and have made a Student visa application, you must only travel to the UK once your visa application has been successful and you have received your 90-day vignette in your Passport.

If you apply through the UKVI app and receive Digital Immigration permission, you should only travel to the UK within the Validity period of your Student visa.

You must add a UK Term Address to Pegasus before you complete online registration. Further information can be found in the Register online section below.

You will receive an email from Admissions containing new login details for your student account, these will be different from the login details for your application.  You need to follow the instructions in the email to gain access to your university accounts and services.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the best way of keeping your account and your work secure and safe from scammers, you will only have to authenticate for University Services when you are off campus. To register your devices for MFA and to find out more about it, visit the Student MFA Pages.

You will not be able to complete registration until you have paid your tuition fees. 

If you are eligible for SAAS funding, you must apply every year of your studies. Further information can be found at Student Awards Agency Scotland.

All students are required to undertake two short training courses as part of the registration process:

• Tackling Gender-Based Violence
• #StrathEqual - equality, diversity, and inclusion for students

There are links to these on your Pegasus portal. Once completed, the red crosses will turn to green ticks. There may be a short delay between completion and Pegasus updating.

There are a very small number of shorter University programmes that do not require completion of this training as part of registration. If this applies to you, the courses will not appear on Pegasus.
