What happens if I don't get the Grades?

If you achieve the entry grades for your course - that's great! You don't need to contact us on Results Day to tell us. Simply visit us for your scheduled enrolment session and we'll get you enrolled.

If you don't achieve the required grades for your course - please don't worry! We will do our best to find you a different course at a suitable level. Get in touch and our friendly team will be happy to help! Alternatively, you can bring your grades in with you to your scheduled Enrolment slot, where you'll benefit from information, advice and guidance from our academic teams. It is likely that we will be able to offer an alternative course that's suited to your grades.

  • What if I enrol onto a course and then change my mind?

    That’s no problem either. just speak to your course leader or your progress tutor and a transfer to another course can be arranged (subject to space and meeting entry requirements). If you need some help deciding, our Careers and Student Services teams will be available to assist where they can.

  • If I'm worried about the first day is there someone I can talk to for help?

    Yes. Our Student Services team, Progress Tutors and your course Lecturers will all be on hand to help you settle in!
