Study hard for your GCSEs so you will have the best chance of enrolling on the course you want. Our friendly advisors are available to speak to or email if you have any questions or queries at this time regarding your application. Call 0330 135 9000 or email info@ncclondon.ac.uk

June/July

During our Applicant Days, you will be able to sample taster lessons in your chosen courses. A Level students may also be able to attend sessions in other subjects that may be of interest to them. These days will also give you an opportunity to experience our friendly college campus atmosphere, look around our facilities and meet some of our teachers.

August

You’ll need to bring your GCSE results with you when you come to enrol so that we can make sure that you have met any required entry grades and make sure that you join the course level that’s best for you.

If you have not achieved the required grades for the course you have chosen, or if you wish to change your course, this can be discussed at enrolment, where we will try our best to offer you an alternative course.

Call 0330 135 9000 or email info@ncclondon.ac.uk for advice.

August/Early September

You will attend enrolment at the college to confirm your place on your chosen course. You should bring along your GCSE results.

If you have not achieved the required grades for the courses you have chosen, you must attend enrolment to discuss any alternative course that the college can offer.

Early September

Induction marks the start of your college journey. You will meet your teachers and other students on your course, and discuss the commitment and standards expected of all our students, so that you have the very best chance of success.  You will find out about all the support you can access at college and your tutors and teachers will let you know how to access this support.

During Induction you will also have a library and IT induction where you will be given your college login details and we will make sure you know how to access all the systems and apps you will need as an NCC student.

Students are supported by the SENCO at their school to complete a permission form which is sent to the local authority.

• The SEN department at the local authority will then send the college a formal consultation letter and a copy of the student’s EHCP and Annual Reviews.
• The college SEND department then reviews this information and arranges interviews or an observation to help make the decision about whether the college can meet the student’s needs.
• The college informs the local authority whether they can support the young person’s needs.
• The student should also make an application to the college at the same time.
