I am unsure of the email address I registered/applied with, what should I do?
We can check this for you. Email applications@preston.ac.uk and we will look into this and send you the email address you registered with.
I can’t remember my password, what should I do?

Simply type in the email address you used to apply/register and click submit. A link to reset your password will be sent to the same email address. It will come from info@preston.ac.uk.
I’ve logged in and have a few different offers – which one do I accept?
You may have applied for a number of different courses over the last few months. You only need to accept the course you are looking to study in September. If you are unsure of what course to take call us on 01772 225517 and we can help discuss your options.
I’ve applied for an apprenticeship, why can I not accept this offer?
The enrolment account is for your full-time course offer whether this is your first choice or back up option. We want to make sure everybody has a full-time place on a course just in case employment isn’t secured. The apprenticeship enrolment process is different as it relies on you gaining employment first. If you have any questions about your apprenticeship application email us at applications@preston.ac.uk.
When can I upload my results?
For School leavers you will only be issued your results from Thursday 22 August. Once you get these you can log back into your enrolment account and upload your results. For any learner that already has their GCSE results you can upload these as soon as you accept your place within the enrolment account.

During the enrolment process we will have a number of staff on hand to change your application. Please call 01772 225517 and we will have somebody on hand to assist you.
