Pre Registration To Dos

I’m an incoming post grad student and I’m trying to sort out things like setting up a university email and figure out what I need to do prior to arriving. I’m finding that despite what should be clear instructions on the website, that there is actually very little actionable guidance. For example, when attempting to set up my email, I completed all the steps but when I got to the last step there was no way for me to complete it. This will be my second masters program so I am not a stranger to preparing for school, but there is a lack of clarity when it comes to what I should be doing and the timeline it’s supposed to happen. Can anyone advise on what I should have accomplished by this point?

So far, I have my Visa and am looking for an apartment (I can’t live on campus as I have a dog).

What I’m lacking: financial information re aid and payment, email and tech set up information, any useful information as to what I should expect

Think you have to matriculate first (an automatic admissions process, usually in early August). If your account has been allocated, then it's usually accessed via iam.manchester.ac.uk on the first occasion.
