The online processes for matriculation, enrolment for the password manager system and the online induction for Information Services have been operational since 18 August 2016. As of today, almost 92% of new students have completed the online matriculation process and we have seen more than 1,209 new students in person at the Immigration and Finance checks with Friday of Freshers’ Week still to come at the Jack Kilby Computing Centre (JKCC), Merchiston.
What if a student has yet to complete the online matriculation process?
New students who have not undertaken the online matriculation task should be asked to undertake the task by following the instructions contained within emails sent to their personal email account. Students should check their email (including junk folders) for these emails.
If they have received such emails but no longer have access to them (e.g. they have deleted them) or received some emails but not the one which allowed them to set up their IT password then students should visit one of our Information Services Help Desks or contact the IT Support Desk (telephone 0131 455 3000 or email ISServiceDesk@napier.ac.uk) for assistance with setting their password.
If the student has not had any welcome/matriculation emails from the University in advance of arriving at the University there may be an issue with the email address we hold for the student or their student status. Please ask them to call our Student Administration team on 0131 455 2535 or email
matriculation@napier.ac.uk.
Do students need to attend a face-to-face check?
A small number of students upon completion of the online matriculation task are required to attend face-to-face checks during the first three weeks of the trimester to confirm payment of their fees and/or to have their passport checked for UK Border Agency purposes. The students are alerted to the need to attend these checks via email and a notification at the end of the online matriculation process. These checks have been carried out on all three campuses during Freshers’ Week.
There are a number of catch up sessions that students are able to attend in weeks 2 and 3 of the trimester if they have not managed to complete their face to face checks in Freshers’ Week.
These will take place as follows:
- Tuesday 13 September 2016 - 10am - 1pm - JKCC, Merchiston
- Thursday 15 September 2016 1pm - 4pm - JKCC, Merchiston
- Tuesday 20 September 2016 10am - 1pm - JKCC, Merchiston
- Friday 23 September 2016 1pm - 4pm - JKCC, Merchiston
Students should report to the main entrance of the JKCC and should bring a copy of any award or sponsorship letter or a credit or debit card.
Overseas students must also bring their passports and visa information.
Please encourage any new students who have not yet completed their face-to-face checks to attend one of these sessions. Please be aware that Friday 23 September 2016 is the final opportunity for students to fully matriculate (i.e. complete the online process and attend any face-to-face check that is necessary) and any student not matriculated by this date will be withdrawn.
Returning Students
Returning students must also matriculate online by Friday 23 September. To do so they should log in to eStudent Records.
To access eStudent Records go to My Napier/Student Administration/eStudent Records and select the link. Alternatively, they will have been emailed a link to their Napier student email account advising them about the matriculation process.
