Prior to GCSE Results Day, we’ll send you all the information you will need to need for your time enrolling at College in the post.Â
This will include a next of kin form and an enrolment booklet with all the relevant information ahead of enrolling with us including information on Additional Learning Support, bursaries and travel options to college.
There will also be the instructions on how to fast track your enrolment by booking a slot that you will be able to come in for. This can be done via the application portal. Log into the portal using the same details for your application and click on the option to fast track your enrolment to allow you to choose what time suits you best and to cut down your wait.
What to bring:
Enrolment will take place on GCSE Results Day – Thursday 20th August 2026.
You will be given the opportunity to fast track your enrolment and book an enrolment slot via the application portal.
If you can’t make your appointment time, then come in when possible.
Our Enrolment process takes around an hour, although during busy periods (typically 10:00 – 14:00) it can take longer. You can reduce the time it takes to enrol by booking an enrolment slot on the application portal. Head to https://portal.mis.nelsongroup.ac.uk/, log in with the email address that you applied with and click the “fast track your enrolment” button. From there you can check all your information is correct and up to date, upload any results/ exam certificates and pick an time slot when you are planning to come in*.
*You will not be restricted to this time slot.

If you need to re-sit your Maths and English to improve your grades, don’t worry! One of our friendly tutors will provide appropriate advice and guidance on this when you enrol.
