Under course information it says that my attendance is sandwich. Why does it say this as I thought I was studying full-time?

Some full-time courses across the university have a placement year in addition to the 3 years of academic study on the course. If you chose to undertake a placement year which is usually discussed and agreed in year 2 of the course, you will be transferred to the Sandwich version of the course.


When will I get a university email address?

Your student email will be provided with your university login details in Online Welcome.


Where do I find out about the Leeds Beckett app?

You can find out more by going to the Leeds Beckett app webpage.


Why do I need SEAtS and where do I find it?

New undergraduates will use SEAtS to register attendance at timetabled sessions. You can download it from either the Google Play or Apple App store (just search for “SEAtS mobile”).  See the SEAtS App webpage for more information and how to use it.


What will my fees be next year?

Online Welcome will normally provide fee information to you as you complete the enrolment process. This will give you information about what your fees will be for the next academic year based on the details currently stored on your student record at that time.


When/How do I pay my fees?

If you have applied for and been granted a loan, we will receive payment from the Student Loans Company. If you are paying your own fees or if you have a sponsor, you can start to pay fees before you arrive. Information can be found on the Tuition Fees and Payments webpage.
