Information for New Students
City of Glasgow College welcome students to their new term. As a new student, this is an exciting time for you. The Student Induction and Guidance Section will take you through everything you need to know and provide useful information, to help make your start with us as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
We offer a blended learning experience, combining online and on-campus teaching, to ensure students gain as many practical skills as possible. We've put together information on what blended learning might look like here - What to Expect for Session 2025 - 26.
When you come to college you'll have lots of questions. To make it easier to find information, we've worked with the Library team to create a new Q&A page. Visit it here and type your question.
New Student Onboarding
To ensure you're fully prepared, we've created helpful guides covering all the necessary steps and support services. Our Get Ready for College guide covers essential preparation, such as securing student funding, arranging accommodation, and connecting with our student support services. You will also find details on your specific Welcome Event and Induction, with confirmed course start dates and enrollment requirements.
Essential Learning Resources
Success relies on accessing the right digital tools, and we're here to help you log in. To begin, please follow the simple steps in the Student Log-in Guide to activate your official college IT account—this is your key to everything! Your account will grant you access to our main Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Canvas. Canvas is where you will find your course materials, communicate with lecturers, track your assignments, and view your grades throughout the year.
