During your registration session you will be provided with your timetable for the day. Your timetable is individual to you, so it is important that you keep this safe. Your timetable will tell you what room to report to for each of your sessions (there will be plenty of staff on hand to help direct you to the correct rooms).
During the day you will have the chance to experience your three chosen A Level subjects and will also have the opportunity to visit the Enrichment Fair in the Sports Hall.

Please note, at our onsite catering facilities, you can pay with cash or on card (a minimum spend of £2.50 is required when paying on card). You can also bring your own lunch as we have lots of social spaces on campus for you to use whilst you enjoy your lunch. Alternatively, you are welcome to leave campus but must be back in time for the start of your next session.
Should you have any SEND requirements, please contact our Additional Learning Support Team on SEND@burycollege.ac.uk including your name, the event you have signed up for and your support requirements.
There are no fire drills planned for the day. Therefore, if the alarm sounds please follow the directions of the Bury College member of staff to the nearest fire evacuation point.
Please note, due to attendance at this event being voluntary, we will not be monitoring or reporting any absences throughout the day.
This is an applicant only event, therefore parents/carers are unable to stay for the event. If you can no longer attend please contact our Admissions Team on 0161 280 8200 or by email at admissions@burycollege.ac.uk
