If you are planning to sit any University of London examinations in the October/November 2026 session, then it is important that you read this message from the British Council. This provides guidance that you should follow to ensure you are able to register for your exams successfully.
- The University of London Assessment Entry Task will open on the Student Portal https://my.london.ac.uk/ . You need to submit your intention to sit an exam(s) on the Assessment Entry Task. When you have selected your modules and proceeded in the task, you will see the link to the British Council’s Registration and Payment portal as you proceed.

To prevent delays when registering with the British Council you must:
- have your nine-digit University of London Student Number (SN) on hand. You will be required to enter this as part of registration;
- ensure you use the correct module codes and that you are eligible to sit the module(s). Any others chosen will result in delay. Refunds for incorrect entries may incur an administration fee.
- You will receive a University of London validation code by email from the British Council within two working days following your successful registration and payment to us. We will also check that your Student Number and module(s) selected match the eligibility data provided by the University of London. Please ensure you fill in the information correctly as failure to do so may result in a delay and an administration fee being applied.
- On receipt of the validation code, you must return to the University’s Student Portal to complete your Assessment Entry Task.
- You will further receive a candidate venue detail email from the British Council one week before the exam session starts provided you have completed both the British Council payment and the University Assessment Entry Task. This email will contain exam appointment details for all registered and paid modules, as well as venue address and other guidance.
Reminder that only online mode of payment will be accepted.

- confirmation of registration and payment notifications
