You can apply after the October half-term and we would advise that you send in your application as soon as you can and no later than the Easter holidays to have the best chance of securing a place on the courses you have chosen. Please note that we will still accept applications that we receive after the Easter holidays.
If you are undecided about which courses to apply for, come along to our Open Events and Taster Days to speak to tutors and try out courses for yourself. For any further information please call the Schools Liaison Team on 01904 770239.
As soon as you have decided on your choice of course/s you can fill in an application form (your Head of Careers will tell you whether you need a paper application form or if you need to apply online). Pupils in many York schools, and some other regions, will be able to apply using the Common Application Process (CAP). This is a system of electronic application forms and can be found by visiting nyork.futures4me.com. Your school will advise you as to whether you should use this system. Otherwise application forms are available in school (ask your Head of Careers), from Connexions Advisors or from York College and you can also download a form below.
When we receive your application, we will acknowledge it promptly. If you have not heard from us within 14 working days of sending your form, please contact the Admissions Team on 01904 770403/440/442 to check that we have received it.
Step 3 - Guidance interview
You will then be invited to a personal guidance interview. This is essential in order to establish the best learning programme for you, and in some cases may include some diagnostic testing. Following your guidance interview you will receive a conditional offer letter within 10 working days, your letter will detail the course/subjects agreed at your interview.
