Rolle College
Rolle College was a teacher training college in Exmouth, Devon, England, which formed the Exmouth campus of the University of Plymouth until its closure in 2009. The university moved its taught courses from the site to new facilities at its main Plymouth campus.
History
The college opened in 1949, and initially graduates were awarded a Certificate in Education by the University of Exeter. In 1988, Rolle College became part of Plymouth Polytechnic, and in 1990 was absorbed into Plymouth University.
The Exmouth campus was closed in 2009, when Plymouth University relocated the college, its 3000 students and 400 staff to their main campus in Plymouth.[1][2]
Rolle played a significant part in the life of Exmouth, both economically and socially.[citation needed] The decision to relocate the campus was controversial with past and present students, staff and the local community.[3] Anti-closure demonstrations and campaigns lasted until the relocation.
The last three Students' Union Presidents of Rolle College were Katie Shaw (05/06), Fiona House (06/07) and Michael Austin (07/08).
