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.
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 redo your WEST or upload your results.
1. Check your email address
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.
2. WEST Initial assessments
There are three assessments: Application of Number, Communication (English or Welsh) and Digital Literacy. Each takes an average of an hour and a half. There is no pass or fail it just gives you and your tutor an idea areas that need improving.
Note: your ID number will be on letters/emails from the admissions department.

3. Upload your results
Your results will then be checked and:
1 - If you have met your conditional offer you will receive an email letting you know you can now enrol.
2 - If you have not quite achieved the results you required, 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.
