If your offer is conditional, it will be after you get your results (i.e. mid/late August for A-level students).

How about IB students? Will we receive it on July 6th or on the same date as A Level students?

They should start sending out emails as soon as they've received your results. I don't know quick they tend to be though.

It depends what you mean by 'first day', the day you arrive or the first day of your course?

Your course will officially start on the Monday after Welcome Week (i.e. the 28th) but you'll probably have induction meetings to go to before then. Different schools will do different things but you'll generally have introductory talks welcoming you and explaining the structure of the course, there might also be some activities designed to help you get to know your coursemates. Your school will contact you prior to September with information on all this sort of stuff.

I don't think there's really anything you absolutely must bring with you, I doubt you'll need your student finance letter even (unless you've been explicitly told to bring it). Of course, having important documents relating to stuff like SF and UCAS to hand is always a good idea even if you end up not needing them. You can register online from the 1st of September so all you'll need to do when you get there is collect your ID card. If you haven't already, it might be worth activating your IT account now as you'll need it to register. If there's anything else you need to do or bring, your school will notify you.

Other than all the administrative stuff, you'll pretty much just spend your first week getting to know your flatmates and the university. There are loads of events on during Welcome Week so you'll have plenty to occupy you before your course properly starts. The university usually releases an arrival guide sometime in August, as well as information on everything going on during Welcome Week. You can look at last year's guide here.

Registration opens on the 1st of September, you'll need to activate your IT account beforehand if you haven't done so already.

You'll probably be given your timetable sometime in Welcome Week, at least that's when I've always gotten mine so I'm assuming it's similar for most other courses.

It's not a UoM owned residence, so you will be living with a mixture of students from UoM, MMU, RNCM, Salford and local colleges.

I got Victoria Hall, wasn't my first choice but I'm really happy with it because in terms of location it's perfect for me and as a bonus it looks like one of the nicer halls! :biggrin:
