If you have any concerns about housing, or support with finances, we have a representative from the charity Disc at our Houghall campuses' library this afternoon. Pop by to see them and they'll be able to give you advice and talk you through a wide range of potential support options.

As a parent or carer, you have an important role to play in your son or daughter's progression. It's important you understand all the options out there. If your child has Level 3 qualifications or has completed an advanced apprenticeship, then a higher degree apprenticeship is an alternative to the traditional university route. East Durham College will be hosting an information event alongside Teesside University at our Peterlee campus this March. At the event, you can find out more about: What apprenticeships are What are the different levels How do these apprenticeships compare to full time university What will an apprentice earn You'll also be able to hear from a higher degree apprentice who will be attending the event.

College is open today. (27th Feb). All routes passable with care. Buses are operating and all sites accessible with care. Site teams are clearing and gritting. College is open as normal. Thank you.
