What will happen to my application while the College is closed? You will be offered a conditional place on the course of your choice, as indicated by your application via our website. This offer will be conditional on you attending an interview with the College when circumstances allow and that you meet the entry criteria for the course to which you applied. Providing you meet the terms of the conditional offer, you can be assured of a place on the course of your choice. What is happening regarding enrolments for September? We are currently working on plans to conduct enrolment for September electronically. However, this is subject to decisions that will be made by Government in respect of the spread of the coronavirus and their anticipated return to work advice. We will update this advice as soon as we are made aware of changing advice from Government or when we have devised an electronic enrolment. Can I still apply to start college in September whilst the campuses are closed? Of course! You can still apply via the website as normal. You can find information on how to apply here, or you can use our Live Chat function – our team will be able to help you through the process of applying. Will you still be holding events on campus, such as the upcoming Open Event in June? We have temporarily postponed all events apart from the usual timetable of study for our learners – this is to minimise the impact of the virus on both campuses. Our next Open Day is provisionally scheduled for Thursday 18 June, and we will keep people updated about the status of this event, along with other events, once we receive further guidance from the Government.
