Students will then be sent their timetables and joining instructions, including when to first attend college.

If students do not meet the entry requirements for their course they may be offered a lower level course, or an alternative course. If a suitable alternative cannot be found the student will referred for a consultation with a career advice expert.

We are doing this to ensure we can manage the amount of people on our campuses at any one time whilst still making sure you get high quality face-to-face teaching, especially for practical sessions.

We have done a huge amount of work over the Summer to create a safe environment, including implementing lots of signs to remind you about social distancing and hand washing. We have fitted hundreds of new sanitiser points and we have adapted classrooms and workshops to allow for safe distancing.
