Higher Education (foundation degrees/degrees/HNCs), Access to HE enrolment and Post Level 3 Foundation Art enrolment will take place on Wednesday 19th August.
Apprenticeship enrolment will take place on Tuesday 25th August.
Main enrolment will take place between Thursday 20th – Friday 28th August excluding the weekend and bank holiday.
Please note: We will contact you in early August with a specific date and time to attend.
All students joining York College & University Centre in September 2026 will be sent an enrolment slot to attend in early August.
Enrolment will take approximately 1 hour to complete and it is very important that you attend.
How long will enrolment last?
It should be approximately an hour, however this will depend on your personal circumstances (entry requirements met; change of course; unsure of which subjects etc.).
Can my parent/guardian accompany me?
You are welcome to attend your enrolment appointment by yourself as this will reduce congestion in the College. However, we understand that there may be some circumstances where you need the support of someone with you, and therefore you may bring one additional adult with you.
I’ve changed my mind about the course I’d like to do
That’s absolutely fine – please still attend your appointment and there will be a team of Progress Coaches and/or Tutors to assist you. Please allow a little extra time to give you the correct advice and guidance. Please note that there may not be spaces available on all courses.
I haven’t got any proof of qualifications
Don’t worry – if you are 16-18 we can search on the Personal Learner Record and print any qualifications out that are showing. If they are not there, still attend your enrolment appointment but we will need evidence of your qualifications before we can enrol you. Please note that 16-18 year olds without proof of GCSE English/Maths will be enrolled to re-sit these courses – but these will be cancelled on receipt of proof of qualifications.
I didn’t get the grades I need to do the course I applied for
Don’t worry – we will find a suitable course for you, even if you cannot enrol on the course you applied for there will also be other course options for you and we will help you find the most suitable. Attend your appointment or if you enrolled in June our friendly tutors will call you to discuss next steps.
I’ve not applied yet, is it too late?
