You're in safe hands. Our Student Services Team can help you to make the most of your time with us in all sorts of ways. From financial support, careers advice and specialist help to additional learning support and more.
Student Welfare Officers
If you’re struggling to attend college or are having problems in your college or personal life, don’t worry. Our Student Welfare Officers will be here to ensure you are offered help and support. Our service and advice is always impartial and where appropriate we can act as an advocate for you within your curriculum area.
Our Student Welfare Officers can offer a range of support, including:
· Mentoring and support with transition from school to college
· Confidential and impartial 1:1 support to help you stay on track
· Support from outside agencies
· Support around lifestyle choices
There is a Student Welfare Officer for each curriculum area so there is always a familiar face around to help.

Your Individual Learning Plan
To help you and your tutors track your progress, the College has developed a range of leading-edge tools so that you can complete an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) which can be monitored and updated by yourself and your tutors.
We ask you to set your own targets and assess your own strengths and weaknesses - this helps you to see how well you are achieving and makes sure that you understand how to meet your targets. Many courses also use an electronic mark book which enables you to see your marks and grades on your ILP.
Your academic progress
Your Personal Tutor will help you to ensure you make good progress on your course and meet your deadlines and targets. You will have a series of one-to-one reviews with your Personal Tutor which cover a range of topics as the year unfolds - from how you are settling in at the start, turning to your on-going progress as your programme develops, and then onto your plans for the future towards the end of the course.
Specialist Support
We know it’s important for you to get expert, confidential help if there’s something worrying you. That’s why we offer you easy access to a range of specialist support agencies. Also, we have a college counsellor on-site.
Personal Tutors
All full-time students get a personal tutor: a friendly member of staff who will be your ‘go to’ person in relation to your academic progress and support.
Our students love being a part of NSCG and together we’re always sharing their college experiences and achievements for everyone to see, and more importantly, for you to see. Their world. Their freedom. Their joy. Their life. Their excitement. Make it yours. #MyNSCG
