Official University of Surrey Q&A

Hey! I now have received the confirmation of my offer meaning that I know hold an unconditional offer. As Surrey is my firm choice I wonder whether I have to accept this offer now or anything likewise.

Ive been offered a room in Manor Park and I had really wanted one on campus. Is there any way I can change this or would I have to look for someone to swap with? My worry with manor park is that it may not be as sociable as being on campus, and i wouldn't be able to pop by my room in between classes. Am i right in thinking this or could i be overreacting?

Hi. I have a few questions. Firstly how do we do the pre-registration which is required before the university registration on 28 Sept.
Secondly what ID/password do we use and how do we register for the Surry365 email address, IT activation and timetables.
Lastly how do we register for unidays through the portal as its asking for ID and password which I've tried but does not work.
Thanks and sorry for so many questions 🙃

Hello,*

No problem - ask away! Details of the online registration are here:*http://www.surrey.ac.uk/welcome/timetable#registration

You will need to know your University Number. Once you have registered your IT account will be enabled which includes access to your university email. *This might take 24-48 hours after registering so if it doesn't work immediately don't worry. *

The login details that you are given once you register will be used for all of your IT access across the university, and this is what you should be able to use to set up your Unidays account.

You can get your timetable for Welcome Week here: http://www.surrey.ac.uk/welcome/ *You'll just need to put some details into the form at the top of the page.

You will be able to access your online subject timetable here: https://cgoauth.surrey.ac.uk/idp/Authn/UserPassword (using the same login details). I'm just going to find out for you when the subject timetables will be available so I will get back to you to confirm

Let us know if you have any other questions!

Cool Thanks A lot for your help

Hi there,

Is there a way of finding out who will be in the same accommodation as you, so it allows us to get to know each other before we move in?

Hi,
I'm going to be a first year in September. I'm going on holiday next week for two weeks and was wondering if I need to complete and return anything by post before starting my course or will it all be online?
Thank you

Hi again,

Just an update on your subject timetable - check to see whether it's there a few weeks before your course is due to start, and if you have any issues accessing it let me know, along with which course you are doing and I'll check it for you then

Hi, I've checked the welcome page for my course (Economics and Mathematics), is the Background Mathematics test anything to be scared about? I finished my Maths A-Level a year ago and was wondering how the test is used, whether it'll be just to get a better perspective on what I'm like or whether it's a pass/fail test that could send me back home.

Thanks!

Hi,
I am an EU student. My place hasn’t been confirmed yet, I’ve uploaded all the necessary documents in the Applicant Portal, yet it says that the status is ‘Pending check’. When will my place be confirmed? I saw that you’ve started to send out room offers and I’m worried that there won’t be any band A rooms left and band A is the only room I can afford. Thanks!

Hi, honestly, don't worry! Some of the courses have this during the first week, mainly so that the lecturers can get an understanding of where everyone is / what level they're at. We'll try to find out a little bit more about this for you on Monday to allay your fears
