Registration New students – International (including EU/EEA & Switzerland)

You will set your password to gain access to your university email address and Pegasus.

Pegasus is where you'll complete online registration, where you can update your personal information, and where you can find out about your curriculum and your class results.

You will also need your DS username and password to access the university e-learning and library services.

Where will I find my DS username?

You will find your DS username in your registration email. You will only receive this after you have received your CAS and submitted your visa application, usually towards the end of August.

Your DS username will look something like this: xyz123456 

Get started

To set your password for the first time, or if you can’t remember it, simply reset your password.

Unique email address

As a new student, you’ll be given a unique university email address, which will stay with you for as long as you're with us at Strathclyde. This is the email address that the University will use to communicate with you while you're here so make sure you check it regularly!

Find out how to access your university email account

Before the start of term, it’s important that you regularly check your personal email address too. We may still send important information to your personal email address, as not all students will be registered and have access to their university email at the same time.

Multi-Factor Authentication

MFA is the best way of keeping your account and your work secure and safe from scammers, and 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 so please make arrangements to pay as soon as possible before your course start date. You should not wait until you have received any student loans/grant/bursary payments (UK students only) and please note that you cannot make payment in person when you arrive on campus.

You must check that your funding authority has paid your tuition fees.

Sponsored students must provide Finance with a copy of their signed sponsorship letter by scanning and emailing it to sponsor-letters@strath.ac.uk, quoting your registration number.

Important: All payments are subject to the provision of accurate bank/building society details and all other details eg National Insurance number, as requested by your funding body.

UK Visas and Immigration requirements/right to study checks

Document checks will take at least three days to complete at peak periods.

Student Visa

If you require a Student Visa to study in the UK and have been issued with a CAS, you are required to upload visa and immigration documents during registration. These will be reviewed by the Visa Compliance Team who will confirm your Right to Study/UKVI check (red cross to a green tick) on Pegasus once all documents have been checked. This may take a few days to complete due to the volume of registrations at peak periods.

Please read the information and instructions about what you need to upload carefully to ensure you submit all required information.

Other type of immigration permission (including settlement, dependent, Skilled worker, EUSS)

European Economic Area, Swiss nationals and their family members are now subject to immigration requirements which did not apply before the end of the post-Brexit transition period (which ended at 11pm on 31 December 2020). As a sponsor of International Student Visas, the UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) department of government require us to ensure that all students have the right to study in the UK and to record the date on which immigration permission expires.

If you are EU/EEA/Swiss student and have pre-settled or settled status, please upload a screenshot confirming your immigration status, please also provide the share code so we can verify your status. You can do this by following the instructions here.

(Please Note: You need to choose ‘something else’ for requesting code, not work or rent-related. We require it for study).

Alternatively, please email registration.documents@strath.ac.uk with the share code providing your Date of Birth and Registration Number.

If you have another type of immigration permission, you will need to upload evidence of this along with a copy of your passport. If you have an Asylum Registration Card, you will also need to upload a copy.

Please read the information and instructions about what you need to upload. You do not need to upload the same documents as those that require a student visa, so do check this information carefully.

If you have any questions about what documents you need to provide, please contact us visa.compliance@strath.ac.uk.
