Enrol in rewarding education at Harrogate College

Frequently asked questions

• What happens when I visit campus?

  Our friendly staff will talk to you about your next steps. This could be a discussion about your GCSE grades, A level results or existing qualifications; your study options; or helping you find a course based on your interests. Visiting us also gives you a chance to get a feel for our campus and facilities.

• Who can I speak to?

  The departments present at our enrolment sessions include:

  • 16-18 courses
  • Apprenticeships
  • Adult & Community courses
  • Higher Education courses & degrees
  • Student finance
  • Student Life team & student union
• Will I need to socially distance?

  We are currently asking visitors to keep two metres apart in outdoor settings. We are also following government guidance on wearing face masks indoors. This will help us respect the needs of different individuals and ensure everyone feels comfortable during their visit.

• I haven’t applied for a college course yet, is it too late?

  Not at all. There’s still time to find a course that suits you. We advise attending one of our drop-in sessions where we can help you identify the right course.

• I’ve received a college offer but didn’t get the required grades, what should I do?

  If you have received an offer from us, you will have been sent your Results Upload Form after filling in your Enrolment Form. Please continue to fill this in and add your results as planned. One of our Curriculum team will then contact you to discuss your options and help identify the right course level for you.

• I haven’t received/ am struggling to fill in my GCSE grades using the Result Upload Form, what should I do?

  If you are struggling or haven’t received your Result Upload Form, you can still come along to the drop-in sessions and we can help you upload your results.

• I’ve received a college offer, but I’ve now changed my mind about my course. What should I do?

  You still have time to change your course. You can speak to us directly and discuss which course is right for you at our drop-in sessions.

• I am already a student returning to college, when do I start in September?

  Your tutor, or the department you are studying with, will contact you to arrange your return date to college and what you need to bring with you.

  In most cases you will usually receive these during your college induction. Your tutors or course department will contact you to arrange this.
