Your enrolment session will allow you to finalise your place with us and receive any additional advice on your chosen course. 

If you find you have achieved different exam results to those you were expecting, please still attend your enrolment session. You will have the opportunity to discuss your options with our advisers and we will find a suitable course for you.

To prepare for your enrolment please make sure to complete as much information online as possible before you arrive for your enrolment sessions. If you are unable to complete a form before your enrolment appointment please do not worry, our team is on hand to help you complete on the day.

Getting to College

We run a subsidised transport service covering a wide area. We operate 18 routes in total and over 800 of our students use the service every day. We pick up from 10 mainline railway stations – Camberley, Reading, Slough, Maidenhead, Uxbridge, Amersham, Aylesbury, Bracknell, High Wycombe, and Hounslow – with a total of 96 stops across all routes. So even if we don’t pick up in your immediate area, you can take advantage of the rail network to connect with our transport facilities.

Bursary information

The college may be able to offer financial support to students with household incomes below £30,000 (pre-tax), and those who are in local authority care or care leavers.

Financial Support can assist with travel costs, travel passes and childcare costs. In some cases, it can also provide free college meals.

Your IT Account

Your enrolment email will contain instructions on how to access your official IT Account.  Using this account you can access resources from your new teachers via Google Classroom*, as well as access our ‘Pay My Student’ system to process any trips & visits, uniform or transport payments relevant to your course of study. For more information please access our joining instructions links above.

Discover life at our campus

The Windsor Forest Colleges Group supports students to be successful and we work hard to listen to student views about their experiences. We always encourage feedback. One of the ways we do that is through our Student Parliaments, Liaison Committees and Student Union. Most College tutor or curriculum groups have an elected group representative.

These reps make up the Student Parliament and are responsible for representing the views of their class on a range of topics including teaching and learning, campus services and college life. The Course Reps also attend regular meetings to discuss their feedback and ideas with the College’s senior management team.
