Full time students should make their application for financial assistance as soon as they receive their offer letter. Full time students will not be allowed to enrol unless they can confirm that they evidence to show how their tuition fees and (if applicable) residence and catering fees will be paid for.

Once you have been at College for two weeks you will need to get this form signed by the Academic Registrar. You will be notified via the College’s email system as to when she will be free to sign these forms.
