Finding Us
The College has five campuses, each with specialist equipment and outstanding facilities to get you ready for that next step. As a City of Liverpool College student, you have access to any of our five main sites to use our facilities - you can find us here:
Resources
Student ID
You’ll need your student ID card to access any of our buildings. Your student ID card must be worn at all times while you’re at College. This is for safety, and also allows you to access different CoLC benefits and parts of our buildings.
If you didn’t collect your ID badge at enrolment, don’t worry! You can pick one up from the reception area at any of our five campuses when you come into college.
Financial Support
Online short course students are eligible for support with childcare, but not eligible for other financial support.
To find out more about childcare support, click here or email childcare@liv-coll.ac.uk.
Student Intranet and Libraries
MyHub is our very own student intranet. You can access MyHub at https://colc.sharepoint.com/sites/MyHub.
To log into MyHub, you’ll need your college email address and password, which you’ll find in the email we sent you when you enrolled.
There is a Learning Resource Centre (library) in each college building. Information on the service, resources and access to the LRCs is available here.
Progress Leader Team
Across all five sites we have a Student Hub which houses Progress Leaders, Work Experience Officers, Careers Advice and Guidance and the Welfare and Wellbeing team.
This is a central space for all students to come and request support and discuss opportunities within their student journey. Feel free to drop in at any point so we can introduce ourselves and tell you how we can support you further.
Student support and wellbeing services
As a City of Liverpool College student, you have access to a wide range of welfare and wellbeing services. Our Welfare and Wellbeing Team is here to support every student during your time with us. You can find out more about the support and services we offer by clicking here.
You can also access the Wellbeing Hub on our website, which provides full details of how we can help you.
Online learning support
As a student of our online learning programme, you will receive support from a designated tutor who will arrange to meet you regularly throughout your time on the course. These meetings can be face to face, by telephone or by Teams online, whichever is convenient to you. During these meetings you can ask questions as well as discuss and agree targets and actions to support your progress.
There is also an opportunity to consider any support you might need if you choose to either progress onto a higher level course or take part in any of our employment preparation sessions – we’re here to help.
