What is a conditional offer?

A conditional offer is not a guaranteed place — it means your place is reserved subject to you meeting the entry requirements set out in your offer email as well as any application checklist areas.

The conditions attached to your offer are provided in your offer email and typically relate to your GCSE results (for example, achieving a grade 4 or above in specific subjects). Many of our courses also have additional conditions such as attending a meet the team and other college events or submitting a portfolio.

Because some courses are in high demand, it's important to follow every step outlined in your application checklist in the meantime, such as accepting your offer online and attending any required events (Meet the Team, Get Ready for College days).
