How do I enrol?

How to enrol depends on the course you are doing. To enrol you will need CRNs (Class Reference Numbers) and /or Block Codes. You can enrol online for some courses.

What is an application type?

When you apply online you will be asked to select an application type. Check the course information to find the application type for your course. Direct Access means you will be admitted to the course straight away.

General Entry means you will apply for the course then wait until you hear from CIT. Remember! Completing an application does not guarantee you a place in the course you have chosen - you have completed an application.

You must select an application type to continue your application. The application type is clearly marked on the course information page so if you are not sure go back and check there.

Direct Access means you will apply and be immediately accepted into the course. You will get an acceptance letter online. READ this carefully and print for your records. If you have the Class Reference Numbers (CRNS) you can go on to enrol. You will find the CRNs on the timetable on the course information page OR you will get them from your teacher before you apply and enrol. Sometimes you will need to come into to CIT to get your CRNs. Check the Course Guide to find out when the session will be.
