Welcome to Student Services:

My name is Gillian Plunkett and I am the Director of Student Experience. I lead the Student Services Team and we want to offer you a very warm welcome to City of Glasgow College where the student experience and success of our students is at the core of everything we do. We are immensely proud of our award winning Student Services Team and Students’ Association and of our world class campuses at City Campus in the heart of Glasgow and Riverside Campus on the banks of the River Clyde. Our professional and dedicated Student Services Team offer a wide range of support for learning and student life and we can help with:-

  • Making an application;

  • Choosing the right course;

  • Advice about money, benefits and student funding;

  • Help with the cost of childcare;

  • Personal support and counselling;

  • Careers advice and job vacancies;

  • Learning support and study skills;

  • Becoming a Class Rep;

  • Getting involved with events, sports and activities;

  • Leisure, evening or Saturday morning classes.

When we meet on campus I know that you will be impressed with all that my team can offer but for now I have made this short film on how to get started at City with our 5 Steps to Success.
