If you’re coming back to continue your studies this academic year at Kent, there’s one super important thing you need to do – complete your Returning Registration on KentVision.
Completing Returning Registration confirms that you’re officially back and ready to study. Without it, you might:
- Lose access to your timetable and modules
- Delay your Student Finance payments
- Risk being unable to continue your course
Key dates
You can complete Returning Registration NOW and you don’t need to wait for an email invite to get started!
The deadline is Monday 20 October 2025, but don’t leave it to the last minute. Medical School students have earlier deadlines, so check yours carefully.
What you’ll need to do
Once you log into KentVision, you’ll see a banner prompting you to start. You’ll go through a few quick steps:
- Check your personal and contact details
- Confirm your course info
- Upload passport/visa documents if needed
- Agree to the University’s terms and conditions
- Complete voter registration preferences
Each section gets a green tick when done. See the full guidance here.
🔒 Once submitted, you can’t edit the info, so double-check everything before clicking continue.
Tips
- Update your term-time address — especially if you’ve moved!
- Check your emergency contact — make sure it’s someone reachable.
- Upload clear passport/visa photos — no cropped images!
- Don’t confuse this with Module Registration — that’s separate.
