How can Ex-Students request a reference from Oldham Sixth Form College?

If you have left college within the last 3 academic years, you will be able to request a reference from college.  However, if you have been studying or working elsewhere during that time, a reference from that establishment or employer may be more appropriate.

If you have any queries about whether or not we can or are most suitable to supply a reference, please contact Joanne Boyes, Careers Manager at jbs@osfc.ac.uk

To request a reference

Write an e-mail to Joanne Boyes, jbs@osfc.ac.uk with as much information as possible, including

  • Full name, Date of Birth, S no and daytime telephone number(s)
  • Details of what you are applying for
  • Details of any voluntary work, paid work, travel or anything else that has been occupying your time since leaving college
  • Details of any voluntary work, paid work, travel or anything else that you plan to do in the near future
  • Anything else you think we should be aware of whilst writing your reference that may support your application
  • If it is a reference to be sent directly to an employer or college, details of who it is to be sent to and where (by e-mail or post) and a deadline if applicable.  Please note, references may take up to 4 working weeks to be available from date of request.

For UCAS applications

  • Register through apply online 2010 and say that you are applying  as an individual
  • College can add your reference online through the UCAS website. Select the appropriate options for ‘for a reference only’ when you register or if you have already registered, in ‘options’ select the statement that includes ‘for a reference only’. Then put in the buzzword osfc2010
  • Please be aware that it can take up to 4 working weeks from the time of requesting a reference to it being available
  • If you are applying through UCAS, also follow the instructions above about sending an e-mail to Joanne to let us know about any additional information not already included on your UCAS application form
