Enrol on your course
Enrolment is how you officially become a NESCol student. It confirms that you intend to study with us and allows us to register you on your course before it starts.
All students, including those studying short courses, must complete enrolment before starting their studies.
You will not be fully registered as a NESCol student until you have completed your enrolment.
What you will need
Before completing your enrolment, make sure you have:
- Access to the email account you used when you applied.
- A laptop, tablet or other device with internet access.
- Your emergency contact details.
- Information about any support or accessibility needs.
Exam results
Complete your enrolment as soon as you receive your enrolment email. You do not need to wait for your exam results before enrolling. If your place depends on your results, we will update your application once they have been confirmed.
