To officially register as a student at Falmouth University, you must complete the online enrolment process. 
 
You’ll be contacted via email approximately two weeks before the start of term with instructions on how to enrol. You will only be invited to enrol once your application has passed all the required checks as outlined in your applicant portal. 
 
You will need to use the same credentials you used for the Applicant Portal. The enrolment process takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Completing enrolment will generate your student email address, which you’ll use to log in to a wide range of resources while you’re studying with us.
 
All students must enrol online before the first day of term. Completing this step will also release your student loan, if applicable.
 

Once you have enrolled, you will be able to access your Falmouth University IT account. This allows you to log into your University email, connect to the campus Wi-Fi, as well as download Microsoft Office 365 apps for free and other key digital tools you’ll need during your studies. 

If you have any difficulties getting set up with your IT account, you can find some handy information here, or contact the IT Service Desk. 

Using your Falmouth student email address and password, you'll now be able to log in to Learn. 

Learn contains everything you need for your course. From the homepage you'll be able to access the module and course hub and find out about the Welcome Week activities you can participate in.

Undergraduate students

As a new undergraduate online student you'll receive a Welcome Letter from your course leader before the start of term.

This will include any reading and equipment lists you might need before you start your course. You’ll also be able to view an online version of your Welcome Letter here.

Postgraduate students

As a new postgraduate student you will receive information from your course leader about any preparation and materials you'll need for your course.

It’s important to get any support in place before you start your studies at university. If you have a long-term health condition, disability, or specific learning difference, we encourage you to apply for an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). This is a document that recommends simple adjustments to your academic experience to make sure you get the most from your time at Falmouth.  

To find out more about how we can support you, email the team at accessibility@fxplus.ac.uk 

During your time at Falmouth you will be able to access a wide range of support for your studies, to help you excel academically and creatively.  

Head to the StudyHub website to see what’s on offer. 

Get your Adobe Discounted Licence

We also provide students with the opportunity to purchase an annual Adobe Creative Cloud licence. This will become available at a reduced price once you have completed online enrolment.

Undergraduate online students

All of our undergraduate online degrees are accelerated. This means you condense your degree modules into two years on the full-time route, or three years on the part-time route. You'll be working across three study blocks per year, instead of two, including through the summer.

The start date on the website includes a welcome week, where there will be a small number of optional webinars and you will be sent emails with practical information and guidance on how to get started with your studies. You will not have access to any academic content until the Friday of this week.

Postgraduate online students

All of our postgraduate online degrees are part-time.
