Enrolment information for A-levels at University College Birmingham Sixth Form Centre

Results day is on 21 August, which is exciting, but can also be a worrying time for some. If you do feel worried, take a look at our guide below to help you through enrolment. If you feel you are more anxious than normal, there is some great advice from the NHS here.

Sixth Form Centre is at Camden House West, Parade, B1 3PY

I have a conditional offer – what do I do? 

We have sent you a link to complete your online registration. Please ensure you do this as soon as soon as you possible. Please note that the photograph you upload will be the photo on your ID card. On 21 August, you need to upload your results to your student dashboard. You can view a video tutorial of this process here. 

Please note: you don’t need to attend enrolment in person. We will start confirming places at 08.30. After 11.30, we may give your place to someone else.

Frequently asked questions

I am on your waiting list, what do I need to do?

You will have been sent an email with a time to attend. Bring your results and your ID - please do not attend before this time, as we will be dealing with our early applicants.

I don’t have a conditional offer and I’m not on a waiting list – can I still apply? 

If you haven’t applied, then come and see us on 23 August. There might still be A-level courses for you, or we can suggest different college courses. Bring your results and your ID, and we will help you choose a course that’s right for you.  

I have got an offer but don’t meet the entry requirements – what shall I do? 

Once you’ve uploaded your results, we will call you to talk through alternative A-levels or suggest a different college course.

I’ve done better in some subjects than I thought and want to change my course.

Lots of students change their mind. You will need to come and visit us before 11.30 to see if we have spaces. After 11.30 spaces will be allocated to people on our waiting list and so different courses may start getting full.

Finalising your enrolment

Once your documents have been reviewed, you will officially be enrolled. All that’s left for you to do after this point is to collect your UCB student ID card during induction week. If we require further information, we will contact you either by phone or email to discuss this with you. You may be asked to provide further evidence before your enrolment is considered complete. 

Don't forget to complete your transition work

If you are holding an offer to attend University College Birmingham Sixth Form Centre from September 2025, we would like you to complete the transition work for the subjects you have chosen. The work should be done to the very best of your ability and will need to be handed in in September.
