You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Stow College''' was a college in [[Glasgow]] in [[Scotland]].

==History==
The college was named after [[David Stow]], whose primary teaching seminary was founded close to the college at Dundasvale. Stow was the first purpose-built Further Education college in Glasgow, it celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2009.

Traditionally an [[engineering]] college, Stow diversified<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.tes.co.uk/search/story/?story_id=2042304 |title=TES Connect - Teaching Jobs, Teaching Resources & Community |publisher=Tes.co.uk |date= |access-date=2011-02-24 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927212613/http://www.tes.co.uk/search/story/?story_id=2042304 |archive-date=2007-09-27 ))</ref> into [[Information technology|ICT]], [[social sciences]], [[women's studies]], [[business studies]], and [[music]] [http://www.stow.ac.uk]. The college offered courses from introductory to Higher National Diploma level within the six departments, namely Music & Creative Industries, Management & General Education, Computing & Internet Technologies, Engineering Technology, Science & Health and Trade Union Education. It also offered online and distance learning and a large range of commercial short courses. The Trade Union Education Department was the largest of its type in Scotland and one of the most successful in the UK. It was also the only college in the [[Central Belt]] to offer a [[Scottish Gaelic|Gaelic]] [[Language immersion|immersion course]].

The college won a number of Star Awards from the [[Scottish Qualifications Authority]], including their top award, the Pride o' Worth Award. This was awarded due to the internationally renowned success of their record labels, [[Electric Honey (label)|Electric Honey]], Gdansk and Root8 which were run by Music Business Administration students. Acts which have been launched through the Electric Honey label include [[Snow Patrol]] (then known as Polar Bear), [[Belle & Sebastian]] and [[Biffy Clyro]]. Belle & Sebastian's first album, ''[[Tigermilk]]'', was released on the label in 1996.

The college was the first in Scotland to devise and offer a Higher National Certificate course in Computer Games Development which helped to support Scotland's thriving computer games industry.

Extensive links with local universities including the University of the West of Scotland, [[Glasgow Caledonian University]] and [[University of Strathclyde|Strathclyde University]] ensured that students could progress to second or third year of degree courses.

Originally, the college's Music and Creative Industries department included a number of former professional musicians including Stuart Woody Wood, formerly of the [[Bay City Rollers]], [[Alan Rankine]] ([[Associates (duo)|The Associates]])and Ken McCluskey ([[The Bluebells]]). Additionally, lecturing staff were drawn from within the creative industries including ''active professionals'' from within Musical Theatre, Television, Composition, Music and Events Management and recording disciplines.

A highly innovative department, in 2009, 2010 and 2011 Students from the college's TV production course provided official coverage of the Glasgow Film Festival. A public information film (Doorstoppers, produced by [http://www.matt-quinn.com Matt Quinn] of [http://caledoniantv.com Caledonian Television], who at one time lectured in TV production at the college), featuring material gathered by Stow College TV students, opened the 2009 Stirling Film Festival at the MacRobert Arts Centre.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.stirlingobserver.co.uk/lifestyle/lifestyle-top-5-stories/2009/05/08/cold-calling-film-debut-51226-23575131/|title = Stirling - Latest news updates, pictures, video, reaction - Daily Record))</ref>

Stow West was an additional campus in the Maryhill area in the north of Glasgow that opened in 2000. Latterly home to the Musical Theatre section (part of the MCI department) as well as an innovative business academy, it was approximately ((convert|2|mi|km|0|abbr=off)) from the main City campus. The campus was a totally refurbished building, previously Shakespeare Street Primary School.

The college merged with [[John Wheatley College]] and [[North Glasgow College]] on 1 November 2013 to form [[Glasgow Kelvin College]].

Stow College closed down and was sold in 2016 to The [[Glasgow School of Art]]. After a major refurbishment it is now known as the Stow Building.
