For Full Time Courses

Terms & Conditions:  

• All enrolments are made based on documents provided by the student. We have the right to confirm that these are genuine at any time, but it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that all documents provided are genuine. We may cancel the course at any point if we find that the student has used deception in obtaining a registration/enrolment.
• As an overseas student, course attendance is compulsory at all times during term times and we will be monitoring this and notifying the UKBA of missed sessions without our agreement/authorization. We also reserve the right to look into student repeated lack of attendance due to illness-we may cancel the course if we consider that they may not be able to complete their course and/or achieve adequate results in their exams.
• We reserve the right to disclose information held on all of our students to the UKBA and other relevant authorities when requested to do so.
• Students who take unauthorized leave/holidays may be reported and their sponsorship be cancelled.
• All students are advised to always advise the UKBA website and be informed of all new regulations applicable. We will from time to time provide updates to our students of any changes, but cannot guarantee this.
• Once a student has been issued a Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), the student is bound by our Terms and Conditions of studying, and unless the College cancels this, the student has no right of cancellation.
• Please note that the fee for Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), is payable by the student. College reserves the right to deny issuing Certificate of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), until the student has paid for it.
• Cancellation of enrolment/registration can only be accepted within 7 days of enrolment/registration, provided the College has not issued a CAS. This request needs to be received in writing and it will be considered based on the applicable terms. Refunds, if approved, will attract a fee of £300 plus VAT
• Once a CAS has been issued, or the minimum cooling off period has expired (whichever is the earliest), we will not be authorizing refunds for any fees/part of tuition paid.
• Students who receive a visa and fail to enrol with the College within the set time limits will be reported to the UKBA and their sponsorship will be withdrawn- any fees paid will not be refundable in any circumstances.
• Student fees are payable in advance of course start. If we have agreed payment by instalments, these need to be adhered to, as, failure to meet the instalments on due dates will result in student being denied access to classes and in some cases will result in course cancellation.
• Students must ensure that correct information/documentation is provided when applying for a visa, as the College will not accept responsibility for a refusal caused by the student providing incorrect and/or fraudulent documentation or fails to obtain points for the maintenance part. The re issue of a CAS will incur additional costs
• The College does not provide accommodation, but students are advised to ensure that they find a suitable place to live, which will allow them to travel to College on a daily basis with ease. Lateness or inability to attend classes due to inaccessibility will not be tolerated and will result in attendance being affected.
• We reserve the right to refuse access to classes to any student who is rude, disruptive, bullying and/or harassing our staff and/or other students. All students are required to respect and treat others as equal, and we will not tolerate acts of discrimination or inappropriate behaviour of any kind, in line with the relevant legislation.
• It is the student’s obligation to provide the College with up to date contact details at all times. Any change of circumstances/contact details need to be provided to us immediately. This will ensure that we can have good communication links at all times.
