Congratulations on receiving an offer at The Manchester College for 2025.  We hope you are as excited as we are for you to work to achieve your goals.

You now need to take a few simple steps to complete your enrolment. Below you will find all the details of everything you need to do to activate your enrolment, as well as useful information for your new course.

Your enrolment will go through various steps:

Step 1 – Logging in to Apply Portal

Simply login to your Apply Portal and you will see our request for you to complete your enrolment form in the 'Get Ready to Study' section.  If you can’t remember your login details you can reset them easily, here’s a link to the guide.

If you have not yet accepted our offer of a place, you will see the tile to accept the offer before you can complete the digital enrolment form.

Step 2 – Enrolment Form

Please check the information you’ve previously submitted is still accurate, and then continue to complete the other information which we require to progress your enrolment to the next stage.

Within the ‘Evidence’ section you will need to upload a passport-style photograph for your student ID card; instructions for this are in the portal under ‘Uploads’.  If you are unable to upload a photo, don’t worry, we can take your photo when you come to campus to enrol.  You will get your ID card when you come onto campus to complete your enrolment.

Step 3 - Review

Once you have completed the above steps, you will be taken to the ‘Review’ page.  Please double check all the information is correct, including your contact details, and click ‘Submit’.  If you notice any errors while on the ‘Review’ page, simply click on ‘Edit’ under the section you wish to correct and make any changes required. 

Please take a look at our video guide:

Step 4 - Book an Appointment

Once you have confirmed all your details you will be redirected back to the portal homepage where you will see a new tile to book an appointment for your enrolment.  Clicking on ‘book’ will allow you to choose an enrolment date and time that suits you.

Please note, the booking of an appointment is not a guarantee of a place on your chosen course.  All offers of a place are subject to availability at the time of enrolment.  We apologise in advance if your chosen course of study is full at your enrolment appointment.  Our dedicated Careers Service will always be on hand to help you choose an alternative course of study.

On the day of your 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.

 Please also be aware that: for some programmes of study you may be required to complete an initial assessment which will extend the time you are with us on campus during your appointment.

Step 5 - Signing Your Learner Agreement and Consents
