INTOUCH

Parent Communication September 2024

Stay in touch with what is happening across the Derby College Group

For Year 1 students these first weeks of term are classed as an induction period. Your student will have received an introduction to their study programme, been given access to an online student handbook, their own DCG email address, and access to our online learning space ‘Moodle’. They will also have been allocated a personal coach who will work with them throughout their time at College and help ensure they achieve a positive destination after their study programme.

We hope you enjoy reading your monthly e-newsletter from DCG.
