FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Enrolment is the official process of joining Burnley College on your chosen course - it is the formal agreement between you, the College and the education authority that secures your place.

Even if you have already submitted an application, you still need to enrol. An application is an expression of interest only. Without completing enrolment, you will not hold a confirmed place on your course. Think of it as the final, essential step that makes everything official.

If you have applied, you should have received a time slot to come in and enrol. If you can't make your time, please email [email protected].

The Themis Apprenticeship enrolment process is different. If you need support, please contact [email protected].

Enrolment at Burnley College takes place from GCSE Results Day, Thursday 20 August.

This date is significant because your results will determine which course you are eligible to begin. The College schedules enrolment from this day onwards so that staff are on hand to guide you through your options based on the grades you receive.

Entry requirements vary depending on the course you have applied for.

Your offer of a place will outline the grades you need to achieve in your GCSEs. If you are unsure of the specific requirements for your course, contact the admissions team directly:

  • Phone: 01282 733333
