Apply in the mango app

All new students at West Nottinghamshire College (NTU students at the Mansfield hub should refer to this scheme) will have the opportunity to sign up to the travel scheme when they enrol and secure a place on their course. Returning students who used the app last year will need to re-apply for the travel scheme for the 2026/2027 year using the invite code wnc-travel. The terms and conditions remain largely unchanged.
