Before you set foot on campus, there are a few important things to check off your list. We will guide you through everything you need to do in the weeks leading up to your arrival from booking accommodation to sorting your visa.
Starting university is a big step, and we’re here to help you ease into it. Before the semester begins, there are a few important things to complete.
Where you will be staying while studying at UNM is crucial. So, if you haven’t secured your on-campus accommodation, then you may do so through the On-Line Accommodation Application (OLAA) portal.
If you have already booked your accommodation and received an offer, do fill in the online check-in form and indicate your check-in date at least 3 working days before you arrive. Check-ins can only be done from Monday to Friday (9.00am to 7.00pm).
Make sure the following are complete before you travel:
Around 4 weeks before your course starts, you’ll get an email with your student ID. Use it to activate your account and access university systems like the NottinghamHub and Moodle.
Once your IT account is active, log into NottinghamHub, go to the ‘Registration’ tile and follow the steps to complete your online registration.

Around 4 weeks before induction, you will receive an email with a step-by-step guide on how to upload your photo and apply for your university card. If you did not receive the email, please contact Student Registry via email.
Once you are done with the registration on NottinghamHub, it is time to finalise your fees including your tuition fees, accommodation fee and others. Payments can be made via the NottinghamHub, bank transfer, credit/debit card or cheque.
Please note that effective 6 July 2025, a 6% Sales and Service Tax (SST) will apply to UNM fees and education-related charges for non-Malaysian students.
