Welcome to York St John University

Once we confirm your offer, it's time to enrol. You will receive an email from us when we are ready for you to enrol. Enrolment tells us that you are coming, creates your IT account with us and forms the contract between us.

The online induction course will help you find your module reading lists, develop digital skills and study skills, and understand how to use information effectively for your course.

Studying at university is different to studying at school and we're here to help you adjust to the change. Learn more about the ways studying at university is different to studying A levels or other qualifications.

Find out more about your new accommodation and how to get ready to move in this September. Find out about your accommodation induction, how to book your arrival time slot, and details of accommodation social media groups.

Make sure your finances are ready for starting university. From checking your Student Finance online account, to advice on student bank accounts and budgeting, we are here to support you every step of the way.

As soon as you have got your University login details, and you have logged into Moodle and e:Vision on a browser for the first time, you can access your personalised student app, MyYSJ.

We have 1 official Facebook group for new students, run by our Students' Union: York St John University Freshers.

York St John Students' Union (YSJSU) is the hub of student life. We do all we can to make sure that you have the best time possible at University. As a member of the Students' Union, you can join a sport or society, vote in our annual elections, join our loyalty programme and much more.

We are here to support you throughout your University experience. The Student Hub provides a single point of contact for all your support needs during your time as a student. There is a physical Student Hub space on campus, as well as an online portal where you can access support information and make enquiries.

We run dedicated events for international students alongside other Welcome Week activities, including visa checkpoints and language support sessions. We've also created a checklist of important tasks such as setting up a bank account, registering with the NHS and exploring York.
