Becoming an enhanced associate student means that you will be registered as both a NESCol and RGU student whilst studying for your HN qualification at college. As an enhanced associate student, you will have time to become familiar with the university and ensure a smooth transition from the college to RGU.
By joining the scheme, you will become a registered student at RGU meaning that you will not have to apply to the university through UCAS. However, signing up will not restrict you from making further applications through UCAS.

- Direct transfer between college and university without needing a UCAS application

- Access to the university library in The Sir Ian Wood Building on the Garthdee Campus.
