Enrolment is the process that officially confirms your place at college. During enrolment, you’ll confirm the course you’re taking and its level and provide all the necessary information we need to enrol you. Once you’ve completed this process, you’ll be officially enrolled as a college student.

Enrolment will take place in person at our Market Street Campus.

When you visit us at enrolment, you will be greeted by our reception staff who will explain the next steps.

This includes:

• Step 1 - Enrolment paperwork filled out
• Step 2 - Checking results
• Step 3 - English and Maths checks
• Step 4 - ID Photo taken
• Step 5 - Enrolment processing

We aim to make the enrolment process as smooth and efficient as possible. However, please be aware that it may take some time to complete, as the College is legally required to collect accurate information to support your transition into college life. To help things run smoothly, please allow yourself approximately one hour to complete your enrolment.

We can use the code provided to check your status. Your share code will be 9 digits and consist of letters and numbers.

If you can’t get a share code, you can bring your physical original immigration documents if they are still valid (i.e. they have not expired).

This can include one of the following:

Please note, if you have an immigration status which is reliant on family member, e.g. dependant status, family visa, child visa, etc, you will also be required to provide the immigration documents of your family member.

If you are aged under 18, the College will request your next of kin details. This information will be used in the event of an emergency and may be used to request consent for any trips you may go on as part of your college course.
