The Recognition for Prior Learning title will provide you with the key information you will need in order to apply for exemptions for prior experience or studies. If you are wishing to apply for RPL then please note this can take up to two months and you can only apply for RPL once you have been accepted onto the course. It is therefore recommended not to apply for your first module of study as the decision may not be able to be made before your studies begin.

If you have started to apply for student finance, then please provide a copy of the application by emailing UDOLenrolment@derby.ac.uk and be sure to include your student ID number in the email.
If you are being sponsored, please ensure that your sponsorship letter is sent to the enrolment team. Please ensure that the full guidance is followed to ensure that the letter is valid and your sponsor can be invoiced correctly. Any incorrect sponsorship information can lead to a delay in your enrolment being confirmed.
If you are self funding you will need to click on the how to pay tile from the UDo homepage. This will will provide you with options on how to pay and will link you through to the payment portal.
We have a variety of payment options available to self-funded students including automated card payments and payment plans. You can choose to pay for a full year, pay for all of your programme in advance or pay as you study. If you choose to pay as you study you can do so by paying for a module at a time or by instalments.
If you choose to pay in instalments, in most cases, this will require you to pay an initial 25% of the modules you are due to study this trimester. You will then pay three further 25% instalments which will be detailed in your Money Tile on UDo.
Once you have made a payment the enrolment team will check your record, ensure you are enrolled to the correct modules and confirm you to the course.
It can take up to two days for you to receive your confirmation and welcome email from the University. Please watch out for it, as it provides valuable induction information to start your course.
Good luck with your studies here at the University of Derby Online learning.
