Enrolling on your course and libraries
Enrolment information
The pamphlet 'Westminster Start' gives dates for enrolment and
explains what happens at enrolment. You should receive your
specific course enrolment information before leaving home. If you
have not received your enrolment information nearing the time you
are due to leave home then contact the
admissions office
relating to your course.
There is no teaching during enrolment week as this is when
students register with the University, attend their course
induction and learn about student facilities. More information
about the
formal requirements for enrolment onto
postgraduate course can be found by following the link. There
is also an International Student Welcome Programme that normally
runs the week before enrolment for full degree students and an
orientation for study abroad and exchange students. For more

Libraries
University of Westminster's libraries
Services include inter-site loans, on-line searching,
photocopying, library publications; micro labs available for class
and personal use. An increasing number of information databases are
becoming accessible from PCs and on CD-ROM in the libraries.
To register with the appropriate site library, please show a
valid University of Westminster ID card, which you will receive
once you are fully enrolled. A tour of the University of
Westminster's libraries is included in induction week. If you
cannot attend, library staffs are always willing to help you use
the libraries. Feel free to ask them any questions you have about
the library system.
Public libraries
You will find
public libraries in
every locality. Membership of your local public library is free
of charge and you need only to provide proof of residence to be
able to borrow book. All libraries should have a reference section
where you may be able to consult large dictionaries and
encyclopaedias. The public libraries are also excellent sources of
information. They stock national and local newspapers and a wide
variety of magazines, which can be read free of charge. In the
library entrance there will usually be a notice board with local
information.
