Step 5 - GCSE Results Day (School Leavers only) and Enrolment Days

On GCSE results day, please login to your account and update your predicated qualifications to the actual grades you have received.  You will also be required to take a photo of your GCSE results and upload them with your statement of entry you receive from school.  You will need to do this in the ‘Evidence’ section of the portal.

Important: the name on your results slip must be visible so we can verify your results.

This needs to be completed prior to the enrolment slot that you booked in Step 4.

Please also bring your original results and statement with you to your enrolment appointment. 

Step 6 – Enrolment

On the day of your enrolment appointment, you will be required to arrive at your campus of choice where your details will be given a final check and you will go on to speak to your tutor team to ask any further questions you may have. 

If you don’t get the results you’re hoping for, require advice, or would like to change your career pathway, don’t worry. You can speak to your tutor or the Student Careers team when you come to campus, or alternately you can email careers&welfare@tmc.ac.uk to make an appointment. 

Step 7 – Signing Your Learner Agreement

You will sign your 'Learner Agreement' and read the consents and privacy notice when you obtain your ID card when on campus, where your photograph will be taken.  Once you’ve signed the agreement, you will receive further communication via email on how to access the Student Hub, where you will find important information on when you start at college, your timetable and how to stay safe on campus.

If you're unable to complete any, or all of these steps, you're more than welcome to come to your chosen campus and speak with our Admissions, Curriculum and Careers & Welfare teams. However, we advise that you follow the steps above and book an appointment.
