You can only apply for one full-time course at any one time - if you wish to apply for another course, you must first withdraw from your original choice. If you are applying for a schools course, you can apply for two courses (one Tues/Thurs course and one Friday). For our part-time course, you can apply/enrol for up to three courses, provided their timetables do not clash.
You can also combine the above rules. For example. if you are at school, you could apply for one full-time course, two schools courses and three part-time courses.
