B.Y.O.D
When studying at One we provide you with all the necessary equipment needed for your course. We have lots of students who bring their own laptops and other devices to college. This is particularly crucial this year due to the Covid 19 situation and the associated restrictions with handling items in accordance with health and safety regulations. You can find information on our website about how to connect your device to our network meaning you can work on your documents at home or at college.
In order to complete all the steps of your enrolment with us you will need to visit the website, read our policies on Student Code of Conduct, ICT User Agreement and the other relevant documents.
Is there anything else I need to know? We will have a look at the results you have achieved at school and let you know if Maths and English GCSEs or Functional Skills will be part of your study programme at One.
