Wintec returning students can re enrol online by completing the returning student form.

You can complete this form if you are:

Alternatively, call into the Student Enrolment and Information Centre and we can print off a returning student form for you, all you need to do is to make sure all your personal details are up to date and we can make the relevant changes. Write in your chosen programme, sign, and date the back of the form.
