(1) If your household income is less than £40,000 per annum, then you may be eligible for a bursary. If unsure, please contact the student finance team at studentfinance@wnc.ac.uk or call 01623 900455, otherwise click here to find out more and apply.
(2) If you live within a walking distance of 2km (1.24 miles) or less from the college campus that you attend, you will still be able to purchase a West Notts College Travel Pass but will pay £48.34 per month (irrespective of whether you qualify for a bursary). However, if there are legitimate reasons that prevent you from walking to college, you may be eligible to pay the lower price of £24 per month. If you study at two campuses and one is more than 2km (1.24 miles) walking distance from your home, then you will pay £24 per month
If you intend to renew your travel pass, please hold on to your card as this will make the process quicker and easier.
However, please be aware you can only renew your travel pass once you have:
- come into college to sign your learning agreement, in readiness for the new academic year (you have been sent a letter and text message advising you of the date to come in).
- received your new unique identification code for the travel pass (which will be sent to you via email and text message once you have signed your learning agreement).
The payment/activation website administered by our partner, trentbarton, does not go live until Monday 19 August – so please do not try to renew your travel pass before you have received your new unique identification code from the college. The unique code changes every year; therefore last year’s code will no longer work.
Apprentices can continue to use their travel pass in the usual way, as theirs is valid for 12 months.
So check out our travel pass page for everything you need to know, including how to plan your journey, bus network maps, and answers to frequently-asked questions.
