How do I re-enrol?
Prior to the start of the academic year, you'll receive an email inviting you to complete re-enrolment at King's.
To complete re-enrolment, you’ll need to log into Student Records. Once logged in, navigate to the "My Enrolment" page where you’ll be asked to follow further instructions.
