Find out what you need to do if you plan to arrive after your scheduled enrolment date

LSE's community and central London location are integral to our identity. Students are expected to arrive in London for the start of their programme.

The deadline to pre-enrol, campus enrol, and online re-enrol is Friday 24 October 2025. Please note that some departments/programmes may have an earlier latest enrolment date, so please check with your department accordingly.

If you are returning from interruption in Winter Term, please visit the Campus Enrolment Schedule webpage in early December for information about dates and times for Campus Enrolment.

If you are a PhD student, please contact the PhD Academy directly to make arrangements to campus enrol.

All students are required to pre-enrol (new students) or re-enrol (continuing students).

You will receive an email notification when it is time to online pre-enrol or online re-enrol for your programme.

Please complete online pre-enrolment or online re-enrolment as soon as you can.

For more information please visit the enrolment for new students or re-enrolment webpages.

Please note, the main Welcome period is now over. If you need to campus enrol, please navigate to the section below "Late Campus Enrolment - arriving during Autumn Term weeks 1 - 4" for more information.

If you arrive after your programme's campus enrolment session (see the Campus Enrolment Schedule webpage), you should campus enrol as soon as possible after your arrival in London, at a campus enrolment session dedicated to late arrivals.

We will be running late enrolment sessions from 9.00am - 9.45am from 22 - 26 September in the Marshall Building. Appointments will be bookable seven days before the appointment slot. Please note, you cannot enrol before your scheduled campus enrolment date.

For those that cannot book an appointment, you can come to the Marshall Building on Friday 26 September from 1.00pm - 4.30pm to campus enrol.

We will be running various late enrolment sessions from Week 1 - 4 of Autumn term in the Student Services Atrium. These sessions will be bookable via appointment. Appointments will be bookable seven days before the appointment slot.

If you are planning on arriving significantly later than your scheduled enrolment date, please let your department know, as some programmes may have a latest enrolment date that is earlier than the school-wide latest date of enrolment.

If you cannot attend an appointment slot, you will be able to enrol at the Student Services counter during opening hours.
