What's Next?

Congratulations on your application, it's your first step to joining a course. There are still a few steps to go before you join us.

ASSESSING YOUR APPLICATION

When we receive your application, our Advice and Admissions team will review it and may ask you for more information. We will not be able to give you a conditional offer until we have all the information we need. Some examples of information we might ask for include:

If you have specific support needs, we will send you a form by email to complete in more detail so we can provide support tailored to your needs.
If necessary, you will receive a call from our support team to ensure we can provide the support you need at college.
If you have applied for 3 or more courses, you will be sent a link to book a call-back with one of our friendly Advisers who will discuss your options with you and gather any further details we need to progress your application.
Once you have booked your call, we will call you from 0800 612 6008, so please save this number to your mobile phone.
If you have been sent an assessment (GCSE Maths and English, Access to HE, or counselling), your application will not be processed further until this has been completed.

YOUR OFFER

You will receive your conditional offer by email to confirm the programme you have applied.
If your course has Entry requirements, these can be found on the course pages of our website.
Your conditional offer may also include details of an alternative pathway programme that you might be eligible for if you do not meet the entry criteria.

A conditional offer means you have been offered a place on the course, but it is not guaranteed yet. Your place will be confirmed only when:

You have met the entry requirements for the course.
You have submitted a complete enrolment form in the summer.
There is still a place available on the course at the time you have submitted a complete enrolment form.
