Welcome checklist

Check out some of the most frequently asked questions that new students ask us.

Hello

We look forward to welcoming you to Middlesex. Before you arrive, make sure you're prepared to enrol and start your year off smoothly. Use our checklist to tick off your important tasks.

  • Check your programme induction schedule

  • Your welcome programme induction is your chance to get important information about your course, meet your lecturers and get to know your fellow students.

    Inductions will take place during week commencing 8 January 2024.

    Once your place has been confirmed, you will be emailed with details for your Programme Induction. From December, you'll also be able to see your full schedule within the MDXapp and myUniHub.

    If you are a CPD or Postgraduate Research student, all information will be sent via email. Please check your junk inbox if you haven't received your schedule information or contact UniHelp.

  • Arriving late

    If you can’t attend your Programme Induction, please don't worry! Our UniHelp team will be able to help you:

    • Enrol, especially if you were having any difficulties online
    • Check you have paid any outstanding fees to the University
    • Complete your ID check
    • Find your timetable
    • Identify your Programme Leader and give you their contact details
  • Get enrolled

Enrolling as soon as possible means you'll be able to view your timetable and see your classes earlier.

To enrol, you'll need to set up 2 Factor Authentification (2FA) for security reasons. If you have trouble doing this, check out the step-by-step guidance available.

Enrolment closed on Friday 26 January, and you are not be able to enrol after this date.

How to enrol

You can enrol online via myUnihub, using the log in details you will have been emailed, and follow the instructions and guidance in the Enrol portal. Your enrolment will be confirmed in myUniHub.

Due to an authenticator error, some NHS students have found they’re unable to enrol using the provided MDX user ID and password if they already use Outlook and Authenticator app to access NHS emails. Find out more on our Welcome FAQ webpage.

Check your details

Ensure you give the most up to date contact details (address, phone number and email) when you enrol. We'll be using this information to contact you about important announcements before you attend and throughout the year. It's also important you provide up-to-date emergency contact details.

Start getting student benefits

Once you've enrolled, you'll be able to access your personal timetable and your student loan can be processed.

You'll also be eligible for great student benefits like a 18+ Student Oyster photocard (you must enrol before applying for your oyster card). Please note that you need to supply your up-to-date term-time address when applying for your 18+ Student Oyster photocard.

Plus you'll be invited to download the MDXApp; your way to stay up-to-date with the latest campus news, find your classes, see your timetable and stay connected with Middlesex.

Once you enrol, your library account will be created 24 hours later ready for you to start using.

Need help

  • Prepare for your ID check

Your ID check will take place on campus from 8 January 2024 at UniHelp in Sheppard Library. If you require a BRP card, please make sure you have collected this before you do your ID check. 

For all other students, your ID check will be done remotely (online). You will have received an invite inviting you to upload your documents for an ID check, however you can also fill out the form online via the link below. It will take approximately 3 working days for your ID check to be completed, and you'll receive an email to confirm that it has been successful.

It is important that you complete this for your student loan to be processed and to ensure that your name will appear correctly on your degree certificate when you graduate. You can then upload a photo for an ID card which can be collected once your ID check has been confirmed and you attend campus for teaching.

Please make sure you upload the correct documentation as delays in this process will cause the inevitable delay in the release of your student loan funds.

  • Access your emails

Within 24 hours after enrolment, you'll have access to your MDX email account by logging into myUniHub or downloading the Outlook app. Your MDX email is the main way the uni will communicate with you, so make sure you check it regularly.

To enrol and access your emails, you'll need to set up 2 Factor Authentification (2FA) for security reasons. If you have trouble doing this, check out the step-by-step guidance available.

Your teaching week

Teaching will start week beginning 15 January 2024, with seminars and tutorials usually taking place from the second week.

Studying one of these courses?

Your timetable might be delivered in a slightly different way so make sure you know how and when to expect your full schedule.

Art and Design, Education, Music, Theatre Arts and Dance

If you're studying one of these courses, you may have additional sessions, workshops, practices or recitals and will receive full information on these from your module and Programme Leaders.

Postgraduate research students

If you're studying a research degree, you won't have a timetable as your course is designed to be led by you and your particular topic of interest.

Apprenticeships

If you're studying an apprenticeship, you won’t be able to view your timetable online. Details on any scheduled workshops and sessions will be sent to you.  As an apprentice, your studies are funded via the apprenticeship levy which means you are not responsible for the payment of your fees.  Your fees will automatically be paid via the levy and this is arranged between your employer and the university.
