If you’ve applied to start a course with us this September, keep an eye on your emails. We’ll be inviting you to an enrolment session during the week commencing 24th August.
When you attend your enrolment session, you’ll receive your Induction Week timetable, so you’ll know what to expect when you start college. Induction Week begins Wednesday 2nd September.
During Induction Week, you’ll meet your tutors, get settled into college and receive your timetable for the rest of the academic year. We’re looking forward to welcoming all our new and returning learners and getting the new college year started!
