Welcome to York St John University

If you have a conditional offer, confirmation is when we let you know your place with us has been confirmed. Find out how the process works and how to find our decision on UCAS.

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.

Your new course leader has written a personal message to welcome you to our University. Find out about what you can expect in your first semester, and get some tips on how you can prepare for starting your course.
