Enrolling and starting your course
Once you have accepted an unconditional offer of a place you will be invited to enrol on your course. These emails will be sent out from the middle of June and you should complete the process as soon as you receive the link. Find out more about online enrolment.
If you are an ESOL student we have prepared 'How to Enrol Online for ESOL students' guides that can help you to enrol online.
You'll also receive an email which contains joining instructions for your course. This will confirm when your course starts and may include details of an induction session and timetable.
Don't forget to keep checking your junk email folder otherwise you may miss an important email from us.
