When you enrol you are automatically a member of the Students' Union and as such you are entitled to a National Union of Students' Card . This card entitles you to a wide range of discounts from insurance and travel to cinemas and shops. The Union is the means through which clubs and societies can be established, College-wide activities organised and help and assistance provided when needed. The tutorial is the major focus of the learning programme. Every student is allocated a personal or course tutor who is responsible for providing support, advice and guidance, identifying learning needs, negotiating and agreeing a learning contract and reviewing progress at regular intervals.
Tutors are also able to assist with personal problems and advice on welfare issues.
Financial Assistance Student Support Funds Funds are available to assist students who may be unable to follow a course because of the associated costs. If you are over 19 you may be able to apply for an Individual Learning account. Further details and application form can be obtained from the Information and Advice Centre.
