GIS is a partner of the University of East London (UEL), who accredit GIS courses and validate awards offered. If you are studying a GIS course which is validated by UEL, there are two parts to our enrolment process, and you will receive emails from both UEL and GIS to complete the respective enrolment tasks.
Enrolment is the process you need to complete to become an official GIS student. You must complete enrolment at the start of every academic year of study.
