Your guide to studying at Gateshead College

Tutor Support
Full time - If you are a full time student you
will have a named member of staff who
will be your main point of contact at the
college. They will provide you with one to
one support, monitor your progress through
regular reviews and enable you to get any
extra help that you need. You must attend
all tutorials and individual review sessions.
Contact with parents/guardians/
carers of students under 18 and
employers of apprentices.
Full time & Apprenticeship - There are
occasions when we may wish to
contact or share information with a
parent/guardian/carer of a student
under 18 or with an employer/
placement provider of an apprentice.
Higher Education & Part time - If you
are a part time or higher education
student your main point of contact
will depend upon the course you are
studying. You will be advised who this
will be on your first day at the college.
If you do not wish us to contact your
parents/carers please speak to your course
teacher and they will advise on how to do
this.
For example, we may wish to share
progress reports, send invitations to open
evenings or make contact about a concern.
If there is a reason why we should not
contact parents/guardians/carers, please
let staff know as soon as you can.
