Our admissions department are currently in the process of contacting all student applicants who have not yet received their Interview/offer. The plan is to arrange telephone interviews as a solution during the college closure.

Some students have given their school emails and we are aware that some may have difficulty accessing their school account. We would be grateful if you could contact your students and make them aware that we will be in touch via email/text with their telephone interview date and time, and to also encourage your students to get in touch with our admissions team on admissions@newdur.ac.uk to update their contact details, if necessary, stating the following:

• Full name
• Date of Birth
• Course(s) applied for
• New email address

We would also be very grateful if you could please include this very useful link, should they have any questions about their application or offer: https://www.newcollegedurham.ac.uk/apply/faqs/application-faqs/.
