In busy periods this can take a couple of days, so don't worry if it doesn't land in your inbox straight away. If you have any concerns, please contact our Admissions Team on 0114 260 2600 or email admissions@sheffcol.ac.uk.

3. Application processing

Our expert team will process your application. Please make sure your contact details are accurate as we may need to contact you to discuss your application further.

4. Your first choice

If you meet the entry requirements for your chosen study programme we’ll invite you to an interview showcase.

If you don’t think you’ll get the grades do not worry - we will help you explore alternative options.

5. Offer made

Attending the interview showcase is an important step in the admissions process. It’s a chance for you to explore the courses available in this area, meet the team, and find out what to expect from studying with us. Attendance is required for any potential offer to be considered.

6. Keeping in touch

If anything changes and you don’t want to do the study programme you originally applied for, let us know.

7. Give us a try

You’ll be invited to attend an admissions event to meet your tutors and some of your classmates who will be on your study programme.

Keep an eye out for your invitation letter as you may be asked to bring in supporting documents.

8. Enrol

This is the crucial step! You’ll be invited to attend a welcome event or enrolment session usually around the last week of August (we’ll contact you with the exact date and time).

You’ll need to bring things like your exam certificates and ID with you in order to complete your enrolment and collect your new student ID card.

If you don’t get the grades for the study programme you applied for, come to enrolment anyway and we can arrange an alternative study programme for you.
