Coming to an Enrolment Session – Important points

At open enrolment you will meet with our teachers or advisors and discover which available courses may be right for you.  

  • It is important to apply and attend an open enrolment session at the earliest possible date.  
  • At the appointment you will chat with teachers, show your exam results (if needed for that course) and enrol onto the right course for you. 
  • If you don't have the grades you were expecting our teachers and advisors will be there to help you look at the best option for you. 
  • Eligible students are enrolled on a first come, first served basis.  
  • The College has a statutory duty to prioritise full-time education for 16-18 year olds. Full-time learning is available for those age 19+, however, where a course is structured for 16-18 year olds, places will be prioritised for eligible learners within this age group, in line with national policy.  
  • After getting a place, you'll then go to our enrolment centre to enrol and then have your college ID badge issued. This will require you to have your photograph taken. 
  • It is a busy day at the college and the whole process can usually take around 2 hours.
