ARE YOU A CURRENT STUDENT AT GLASGOW

KELVIN COLLEGE?

“Glasgow Kelvin College is committed to promoting progression and would

like to encourage you to continue your studies with us. The College will offer

guidance and support for you to consider your progression opportunities, both

within class and through student support services.

If you are on a recognised learning path (for example N.Q. Business

progressing to H.N. Business) we will issue you with a conditional offer

(generally based on you passing your current course). If you would like to

move on to a course not directly related to your current course of study, we

will offer you a prioritised interview where appropriate.”

.

Your Faculty should speak to you about progression options for next

year. This should take place before the end of January.

As a current student YOU WILL BE PRIORITISED for consideration

before we consider places from external applicants.

Although your Faculty may be able to offer you a place verbally this

must be followed up by an offer from Admissions. If you do not receive

your offer by the end of February you should contact Admissions

urgently.

PLEASE NOTE

Many Faculties will not interview you. After your class tutor has

discussed options with you they will simply instruct us to send you an

offer where appropriate.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Offer Letter

Your Faculty will inform us if you should receive an

offer. This is normally a Conditional Offer based on

successful completion of your current course and a

reference from your Curriculum Manager. Remember

this does NOT mean you will automatically be

guaranteed a place the following year. YOU STILL

HAVE TO MEET THE CONDITIONS.

Your Faculty will then liaise directly with the Admissions Team to update

us on your results. We will contact you at the end of term with a revised

unconditional offer if the conditions are met.

Interview

You may be invited for an interview for your

chosen course. This often happens when the

course you are studying is not directly linked to the

course you are applying for or there are more

internal applicants than spaces. We will contact

you directly to arrange an interview.

Unsuccessful

Unfortunately some of you may not be given an offer for the course of

your choice. If so we will contact you formally detailing the reason you

have been unsuccessful and invite you to contact the Guidance Team or

Faculty to discuss alternative options.

Waiting List

If there are too many applicants for the course you apply for you may be

issued with a waiting list letter. We will contact you if places become

available.

If progressing to an HNC, HND or Degree course your funding will be

provided by the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS). We will

shortly arrange some information sessions where you can meet the

SAAS team and hear from them directly about Fees, Loans and Grants.

This is an invaluable opportunity for you to ask any questions you may

have to ensure your funding is in place when you start your new course.
