    HOW TO APPLY TO ANY OF THE COLLEGE SITES:

    Application forms can be found in the centre of the college's "School Leavers Guide 2010-11", available in all schools and Connexions centres. They are also available by calling the Admissions Department on (0191) 511 6260; or by visiting the college's website at www.citysun.ac.uk.

    Places on courses are offered on a first come, first served basis, so it is best to start applying to college as early as possible in Year 11, rather than waiting until you have left school.

    Applications should be made for just one site only. If you are unsure which site to choose, apply to the one that runs your chosen course or to the site closest to your home address. Your choice of site can be changed when you attend your interview, or even at a later date by telephone. Multiple applications from the same person for different sites will not be accepted.
