Enrolment takes place in person at the college, as online enrolment is not available. Please visit the college at your scheduled time, and our welcoming staff will help you to enrol.
You will be welcomed by a friendly member of staff who will speak to you about your next steps. Whether this is advising you on your post-GCSE options or helping you to find a course based around your interests, we can help. Visiting campus will also give you a good feel for the place.
Enrolment takes place at the college and should take approximately fifteen minutes. Our friendly team will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. There’s no need to feel rushed – we are here to help and will ensure you are satisfied with everything before you head off to enjoy the rest of your day.
Speak to us, we are here to help! When we gave you an offer we will have invited you to book an enrolment time. Attend your enrolment slot and one of our curriculum team will help discuss your options and help you find the right course at the right level for you.
Speak to us, you still have time to change your course. Come to your booked enrolment appointment and talk to us about the course you would like to change to and we can give you advice on your next steps.
You will usually receive these during your college induction. Your tutor or a member of your course department will contact you to arrange this.
The department you are studying with will contact you to arrange your return date to college and detail any information regarding what you need to bring with you.
Here at Harrogate College we don’t want finance to be a barrier to study. We offer a range of financial support to students to help with the costs associated with studying. You may be able to access support with travel, meals, childcare, fees and course related costs if you meet certain eligibility criteria. If you think you may be entitled to any financial support you will need to also bring the evidence needed for this to your enrolment meeting.
For full details of the support available to help you study, go to our Student Financial Support webpage.
Funds are limited so eligible students are advised to apply immediately after their enrolment. Staff will be available to support you to apply using the Student Financial Support Fund online application form which will be emailed to you. To complete the application students must show their income evidence to staff when requested, (e.g. working tax credit/child tax credit award notice, benefits letter, Universal Credits statement, home office letter/ASPEN/ARC Card).
If you require childcare support, you can apply now and can do this by downloading the childcare applications form and quote form from the Student Finance page of the student intranet or here https://harrogate-college.ac.uk/financial-support/over-20s-childcare-support/. Applications must be checked and signed by curriculum admin teams before being scanned and submitted to childcareadvice@leedscitycollege.ac.uk. If you are 20+ and applying for childcare, you must also bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate to your enrolment meeting.
Now you know what to expect from enrolment, you can start to get excited about joining us! At Harrogate College, we treat each learner as an individual and we ensure that you have the support you need to succeed.
“The best thing about the T Level is the mixture of theory and practical learning. I like to learn the basics so that I can then put it all into practice when doing work experience.”
