A warm welcome awaits…
Enrolment is taking place between 23 August and 2 September at our Centre for Creative Industries (CCI), and Victoria House, both along Queen Street.
We can’t wait to welcome you to Exeter College this summer. This page is for all Exeter College offer holders who will be joining us for the first time this year.
At enrolment, we’ll confirm that you’re on the right course for your future, meet the expected grade profile and make sure you’re set up on all of our systems to start your exceptional education with us.
Remember, if you don’t get the results you were hoping for, or you’ve changed your mind about the course that you want to do, still come along for your enrolment appointment. We offer a wide range of courses at all levels and can support you in exploring your options.
What is enrolment?
Enrolment is the process for making your final choices about the courses you will study with us and signing up as an Exeter College student.
As part of the process we will check that you have achieved the grades you need for your chosen course. If you don’t achieve the grades you were hoping for or you’ve changed your mind about what courses you’d like to study, please don’t worry, we will support you to find the course that’s right for you and your ambitions.
We’ll also let you know what to expect at the start of term, and answer any questions that you may have before your first day.
As part of the enrolment process you will complete all of the necessary paperwork to enrol as a student and you will have your photo taken for your College ID card.
