Enrolment Day YOUR

To become a New College Doncaster student, it’s important that you’re available to attend your enrolment appointment in person at your allocated date and time. This will either be on Thursday 24 August or Friday 25 August, after you’ve collected your GCSE results. We will write to you in mid-July with details of your appointment.

Enrolment Day is an exciting day when you’ll officially become a New College student. During your individual appointment we’ll talk to you about your GCSE results, your future plans, and agree with you the courses you’ll study at New College Doncaster. You’ll sign your learner agreement and carry out some administrative bits and pieces, and you’ll then be able to buy a bus pass if you need one.

Because we are seeing so many students, and because it’s important that we allocate places fairly and in line with our admissions policy, we’re unfortunately not able to accommodate requests to switch from one date to the other, or at a different time of the day.

If you’re not able to attend, the letter we’ll send you in July will explain what you need to do next. Please be aware that if you’re not able to attend your appointment we cannot guarantee that places in the College, or for some particular courses, will still be available at a later stage. If you’re also still unavailable on our Late Enrolment Day (Thursday 31 August) then we are unlikely to be able to provide a place at New College Doncaster.

Your first day will start with a welcome from the Principal and an introductory tutorial, before beginning your first lessons later in the morning.

Over the course of the first week, which we call Freshers’ Week, you’ll have the opportunity to sign up to a wide range of extra-curricular enrichment and sporting programmes that will take place over the year.

We hope you’re feeling excited about joining the College that we are so proud of. You’ll quickly settle in, make new friends, consolidate your friendships from school, and find your way around. Although we hope you’ll have made really well-considered decisions about your course choices, there will be opportunities to review this during the early part of the term.

Term dates for next academic year have been published on our website since last autumn at https://ncdoncaster.ac.uk/term-key-dates/ Please note that these dates might not always be the same as the term dates of some of our feeder schools, and that holidays during term time are not authorised under any circumstances.
