Multiple student IDs (A/B records)

Last updated: 16 Sep 2026

Studying multiple courses? You’ll only need one student ID from Monday 30 November.

Students currently studying more than one course at the same time may have multiple student IDs (for example, 123456789A and 123456789B). From Monday 30 November, these IDs will be merged, allowing all courses to be managed using one continuing student ID.

Your continuing ID will be ONE of your current IDs. The IDs which are not selected to be your continuing ID will be deactivated

Which ID will remain active?

The continuing ID will be confirmed by email before the IDs are merged, along with any actions required. Please monitor your emails over the coming months for more information and instructions.

What do I need to do before Monday 30 November?

You’ll receive an email with instructions personalised to you. You only need to complete the actions outlined if you want to keep the data associated with your non-continuing ID. Depending on your circumstances, you may need to complete one or more of the following actions:
