You’ll complete your enrolment to the Fashion Retail Academy online. You can only enrol if you hold an offer to study one of our courses for the new academic year in September 2025.
The enrolment process is slightly different depending on whether you hold an unconditional or conditional offer. If you don’t know which option is for you, please check your offer letter which will tell you the course you’ve applied for and the type of offer you're holding.
If you have any questions about the enrolment process or would like to reset your account, please contact us on 0300 247 0039 or info@fra.ac.uk
If you have an unconditional offer, you qualify for priority enrolment. You’ll receive an email with instructions for completing your enrolment a few weeks before enrolment opens.
When do I enrol?
Unconditional enrolment is open from 7 July - 21 August 2025.
If you don’t enrol by the deadline, you could lose your place at the Fashion Retail Academy.
What do I need to enrol?
You’ll need to give us photographs or scans of:
- Original exam certificates of your official result notification (e.g. GCSEs, A or AS Levels, GNVQs, BTEC National Diploma or other similar qualifications)
- Proof of your current address e.g. A recent utility bill, bank statement (within the last three months), National Insurance letter etc.
- Proof of I.D – a Passport* or birth certificate with additional photo ID (such as a driving licence)
- Passport-style photograph. This must be a headshot without filters or emojis and against a plain background. This will be used for your FRA pass.
