Welcome events for Undergraduate Humanities students

Your first steps at the University of Dundee: What to expect, and when

An opportunity to meet and socialise with other students starting on the Undergraduate Humanities programme and key members of staff.

Matriculation (registration)

Matriculation is where you officially register as a student with the University of Dundee, to allow you to attend classes and access facilities such as the Library and My Dundee. You'll be asked to matriculate at the start of every academic year while you are a student.

  • Before you start your course, we will send an email to your student email address with a link to eVision. Complete this task by 3 October. You must do this before you can receive your Student ID Card and access the virtual learning environment (MyDundee).
  • You will be asked to complete a series of steps to confirm some information we hold about you, or enter this information if it was not supplied in your application.
  • Please also take a moment to make sure your address details are correct and up to date. Even if you are staying in temporary accommodation we will need local contact details - your address can be updated in eVision later if you move.
  • You will also need to agree to the University’s Code of Conduct and Declaration.
  • The final stage of the task will confirm you are a fully matriculated student with the University.
  • You will be able to check your matriculation status via the Student Profile tab.

Your student ID card

Have you uploaded your photo to eVision?

You will be able to collect your Student ID card via the School of Humanities, Social Sciences & Law Reception located in the Old Medical School Building from Monday, 15 September:

Monday – Friday  10:00-12:00 and 14:00 - 16:00
Please do not come to Reception until you have completed the online matriculation task.

Your ID card:

  • verifies your status as a student of the University of Dundee

  • entitles you to a range of student discounts

Once you have received it, you should carry it with you and produce it on request at any time while you are on the University campuses. You should not let anyone else use it.
