Enrolment
Enrolment is the final stage before starting your course with us and takes place during the last two weeks of August.
You will need to attend your enrolment appointment in person at the college as you will need to sign paperwork and take your college ID photo.
Watch out for a letter from the college - you will be hearing from us early August with details about your enrolment appointment. If you don't receive your letter, you can contact us on 01603 773008 or email admissions@ccn.ac.uk.
