Welcome to Homerton College

Congratulations on your offer of a place at Homerton College following the inter-collegiate Summer Pool.

We have put together this page for you, as it contains some helpful guidance as well as outlining the all important documents and information we require from you before joining the College. You can find further information, sent to all Homerton College Offer Holders in the spring, via the online Offer Holders Portal 2023 Entry (2024 Deferred Entry).

Our Admissions Tutor will reserve a room for you in a building called West House on site. It would be helpful, if you could complete the Accommodation Application and Preference Survey (link provided in the table below), to indicate whether you have any special requirements. If you have any problems accessing the online survey, please email the Admissions Office as soon as possible.

Homerton and the University as a whole, has a much-valued contact scheme where current students contact new entrants via email over the summer vacation to introduce them to College life. If you would prefer the Admissions Office not to give your contact details to the Homerton Union of Students for this purpose, please email the Admissions Office to opt-out by Wednesday, 23rd August. To find out more about HUS (Homerton Union of Students) have a look at Homerton Union of Students JCR (hus-jcr.co.uk).

Please refer to the table below as it outlines what you will need to do next, the documents and information we need from you, by when and the link to upload them via the online form. Should have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to email the Admissions Office.

How to prepare your document(s) for uploading via the online form:

Scan your original document(s) into one PDF file, further guidance provided below, How do I create PDF files to upload?'.

Click on the link provided in the table below to upload your document(s).

How do I create PDF files to upload?

If you need help creating your PDF file, instructions can easily be found on the internet. We've included some useful examples below (please note these sources are external to the University):

Further suggestions include using CamScanner to do this, if you have access to a mobile phone. It is an app that turns a mobile phone into a scanner and allows you to save the image as a pdf which you can then email to the College, as instructed. Alternatively, you could take a photo of your document, insert it into a Word or other text document, save it as a pdf and email it to the College, as instructed. Please always make sure that the documents are clear, the right way up and all the information is readable.

We look forward to welcoming you to Homerton College.
