Matriculation is simply the process of formally becoming a student at a university or college. This is usually done online and is a slightly different process for each institution. You should receive an email from your chosen institution to register for matriculation. This may involve simply registering to your course, but can also involve choosing specific modules you wish to complete. It is important to complete matriculation so that you can actually begin your course. If you do have to choose specific modules, it is important to do this as quickly as possible because there are usually only a select number of places available on each module – so make sure you can get on the register for the modules you want to complete.
During the matriculation process is also usually when you pay your tuition fees. This is where you put in your SAAS/Student Loan details. This is all part of the matriculation process, and you usually only have to complete one online form. Institutions make the matriculation process as easy as possible, so don’t worry. If you need help during matriculation, there will be contact details within the matriculation email.
