Moments matter, attendance counts
Admissions, enquiries and personal details
College attendance is a critical component of your
journey, impacting your learning, personal development,
and future career prospects. It fosters a conducive
learning environment, promotes success, and helps build
essential skills for your professional and personal lives.
Our experienced and friendly Admissions and Enquiries
Team are dedicated to your success at DCG from
processing applicants, offering advice and guidance, and
supporting enrolments to issuing College ID cards.
Going on holiday during term time is not a reasonable
excuse to miss your lessons. We would also expect you
to book appointments with the doctor/dentist outside
of College wherever possible. You will be expected
to provide evidence of any appointments that cause
absence. If you engage with our Support Services, you
can overcome barriers to good attendance and succeed.
The College must have an accurate record of your
personal details throughout your time here. If you need
to amend any details, including your mobile number,
address, or emergency contacts, please contact the
Admissions and Enquiries Team at our help desks.
You will find our team on each main College site, or you
can email: studentservices@derby-college.ac.uk
Your attendance levels will also form part of any
reference requests for your next steps, whether this is
a university application, an application for employment
or an Apprenticeship – so stand out and be proud of
showcasing good or outstanding attendance.
How to report an absence
If you are ill and/or cannot make College or your work
