Enrolment Frequently Asked Questions

All applicants are required to:

· Confirm their details on the pre-enrolment portal

· Upload a copy of their results slip or certificates

· Upload a photo for their ID badge

The pre-enrolment portal will be sent to applicants from July onwards.

Applicants will also be required to complete a Maths and English assessment when prompted to.

Our enrolment schedule is based on the date you applied the earlier you applied the higher up your application will be on our schedule, as well as pro-active engagement of our pre-enrolment steps ahead of any deadlines set, a delay in completing any pre-enrolment steps can jeopardise an applicants priority in the enrolment schedule.

Applications have been open since October 2026 and we do recommend applying before 31st March to give you the best chance of securing a place on your first-choice course. Applications will not close until the end of September 2027.

Enrolment begins from Monday 23rd August for applicants who have completed their pre-enrolment portal steps.

Main Enrolment runs through until Tuesday 31st August. We do enrol past this date up until Friday 1st October, this will be for late applicants or those who complete their pre-enrolment steps late.

During this week once you are enrolled you will be sent a confirmation from Admissions, within 24 hours of receiving confirmation you will be sent your timetable by a gcadmin@gloscol.ac.uk inbox.

Term begins from Wednesday 1st September; this is timetable dependant and will be confirmed after you have been enrolled.

Important Information:

Please note - Full Time Further Education courses do not begin until at least Wednesday 1st September, whilst you will be sent a timetable for the full week the college is closed on Monday 30th August and Tuesday 31st September.

Whilst term does begin on a Wednesday, if Wednesday is blank on your timetable, you do not need to come in on this day.

The last day to apply for a September 2027 start is Thursday 30th September.

Applications will close on Thursday 30th September with the last day to begin your course being Friday 1st October.

Still upload your results – if you have not done as well as you'd hoped we will still consider your enrolment at GC. However, we may offer a more appropriate level for you to start with.

Our academic team will check your results against the entry criteria and if you do not meet criteria they will refer you to a more suitable level, they may also call you to discuss your course option.

You do not need to reapply for a different level course. Our enrolment schedule is based on the date you applied, so submitting a later application would push your place further down our schedule.

Within 24 to 48 hours after you have received your enrolment confirmation from Admissions you will be sent your acknowledgement of enrolment and timetable, this will come from the gcadmin@gloscol.ac.uk inbox.
