I'm an EU or EEA citizen. What information do I need to supply?

Following the UK’s departure from the European Union (EU), all EU and European Economic Area (EEA) citizens will have to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) to continue living, working and studying in the UK.

Through the EUSS, you can be granted ‘Settled Status’ if you have been in the UK for 5 years or more. This gives you a right to remain in the UK with no time limit.

You can also be granted ‘Pre-Settled Status’ if you have been in the UK for less than 5 years. This gives you a right to remain in the UK for up to 5 years, after which you can apply for Settled Status.

More information on the EU Settlement Scheme is available

In order to complete enrolment for the 2023-24 academic year in August/September, you will have to demonstrate that you have been granted either Settled or Pre-Settled Status. You should send your ‘share code’ to euss@leicestercollege.ac.uk.

You can view your EUSS status and generate a ‘share code’ via the UK government website

I already study at Leicester College do I need to attend enrolment?

If you are studying a programme that lasts for two years, you may be invited in for enrolment for this year as we have to complete some specific paperwork due to funding rules.

If you DON’T receive an invitation, it doesn’t mean we have forgotten you, it just means that the rules allow us to move you into your second year without any forms to complete and therefore you will not need to attend enrolment.
