Adult Course Enrolment

Adult Course Enrolment 2026

Are you still accepting applications for Adult, Access and Higher Education courses starting in September?

Yes, we are.
 
We are still accepting applications for most of our courses. Some of our courses are already oversubscribed in terms of the number of applications against places and we are no longer accepting applications for this year. These courses are indicated on the website and on our online application forms. Applications for these courses starting September 2027 will open in November 2026.
 
Further information can be found by visiting: www.riversidecollege.ac.uk/adults
 
Spaces are not allocated until we enrol on the courses in late August/early September at our enrolment events. Applying now means that we have your information to invite you to enrolment. In the interests of fairness, appointments are allocated based on date of application. Please note that our courses are very popular and often oversubscribed. Places are only secured at enrolment and are subject to availability at the time of your enrolment appointment.

What happens after I apply? I have applied and I am waiting to hear back. When happens next?

Firstly, thank you for applying. You will have received an email from us confirming your application has been received.
 
We will be in touch by mid-August with details about your next steps via email.
 
Please ensure that we have the correct email and mobile number for you and email advice@riverside.ac.uk with any changes.

I would like to change the course I have applied for. Do I need to apply again or what should I do?

If you wish to change the course you have applied for, please email advice@riverside.ac.uk and we can amend your original application. You do not need to apply again.

The course I have applied for requires maths and/or English and I don’t have any certificates. What should I do?

If you do not have the required maths and English certificates and you can sit an assessment (if accepted for the course), you can advise us of this by emailing certificates@riverside.ac.uk
 
We will then be in touch regarding what happens next.

I have sent in my certificates or requested an assessment and am waiting to hear back?

We will check your certificates against the entry requirements and be in touch after the summer break with the next steps. If you have requested an assessment, we will organise this for you after the summer break.

I have applied and been told I meet the entry requirements. What happens next?

As you have provided evidence that you meet the entry requirements of the course, we will allocate you an earlier enrolment appointment for when enrolment takes place in late August/early September. You will receive an enrolment appointment via email by mid August inviting you to enrolment and giving you all the information that you will need to enrol. Please check your inbox and junk/spam folders too.
 
Please note that our courses are very popular and often oversubscribed. Places are only secured at enrolment and are subject to available places at the time of your enrolment appointment. It is possible that all places may be taken before your enrolment appointment, and we will advise you as soon as possible if this is the case. Our website is regularly updated with course availability, and we advise that you check the website before travelling for your enrolment appointment.
 
Please ensure that we have the correct email for you and email advice@riverside.ac.uk with any changes to your email address and mobile telephone number so that we can update you.
