USEFUL INFORMATION

Here we’ve pulled together details of how to enrol, followed by some information that we hope you will find useful prior to starting College in September.

Note: if you are a Federation student, please go to the Federation Enrolment page.

This page is for enrolling onto A-levels regardless of the subjects you have picked.

How to Enrol

You need to enrol as soon as possible after you receive your GCSE Results in August.

If you don’t get the results you had hoped for, or have changed your mind about the course you have applied for, please contact our Admissions team as soon as possible – they are here to help.

Please note: if you have been a student at the College previously, you do not need to upload your results.

1. Check your email address

Check your email address under Personal Details on OnTrack (using the link below) and update it if you need to.

Your username is the first part of your email address (before the '@' symbol) that you used when you created your OnTrack account. You will also find it on the enrolment email we sent you. If you have forgotten your password, you can click on ‘forgot password’ to create a new one.
Check your email address

2. Upload your results

If you are expecting GCSE results this summer, please take a clear photo showing the entire results slip (including your name) and upload your results to the evidence section of OnTrack where they will be checked. Please watch this short video How-To Guide, if you need help.

Your results will then be checked and:
1 - If you have met the conditions of your offer, you will receive an email letting you know about your first day in College. 
2 - If you have not quite achieved the results you required you may be transferred to a lower level or we will contact you to talk about your options.
3 - If your grades are a long way off what you needed, don’t panic, please upload your results and one of our Admissions Team will contact you to talk about alternative courses.

3. Your first day in college

Will be Monday 1 September or Tuesday 2 September depending on your course. You will be notified which day you need to attend, once you have been enrolled.
All our staff are really friendly and we have an open-door policy meaning you can just pop along to our offices at any time to ask a question. Here are some useful people for you to know. You will be shown where to find them during your first day in College but if you don’t remember, just pop to reception and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Equipment Needed

For most courses you will need to budget about £30 for stationery. Some courses will also require you to have textbooks you may be able to buy these second-hand, loan them from the college library or online libraries.

Any equipment that needs to be purchased before you start in September will be listed here. If you cannot see anything here relating to your course, don’t panic, you will be informed of any equipment required during your first day in College.
