Welcome to University

Congratulations on receiving an offer to study at the University of Sunderland in London. This hub will help you get ready to start, from completing your enrolment to preparing for your first weeks at university.

Welcome Hub

Complete your enrolment

Enrolment is the first step to becoming a University of Sunderland in London student.

Once you’ve met the conditions of your offer, we’ll contact you with details of how and when to enrol.

Complete your enrolment as early as you can so you’re ready to access your timetable, learning resources and University systems.

Student Hub

Get ready for your first week

Once you’ve enrolled, you’ll be able to access your induction information and start preparing for your course.

Your induction will help you:

  • get to know the campus

  • meet staff and other students

  • understand your course

  • find out about the support available to you

  • get familiar with the systems you’ll use during your studies.

We’ll contact you before your course starts with information about your induction and timetable.

Your induction timetable will also appear in your What Next? Checklist on e:Vision after enrolment. Your academic timetable should be available during induction week once enrolment is complete.

Campus card

Your campus card is your university identification card, and you'll need it to borrow books from the library, register your attendance, and access buildings and facilities.

Enrolling early and before your course start date means you'll have your campus card ready before you set foot on campus.

Ensure it is visible at all times while on campus by using the blue lanyard and card holder we provide.

Set up your IT account

Once you've completed online enrolment, you'll receive an email with your User ID and password. This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours.

You'll be given two logins:

  • Standard login (e.g., ab01abc) – used for platforms like Compass and your academic timetable.

  • Microsoft login (e.g., ab01abc@student.sunderland.ac.uk) – used for Canvas and Office 365 services like email, OneDrive and Word.

If you start but don’t finish enrolment, remember to log back into myApplication using your new User ID and password – not your original myApplication details.

Once you've completed your IT set-up, you'll be able to log in to SharePoint to access support services, key information, contact details and much more.
