After Getting Visa

Student must inform the college as soon as possible (college expects to be notified the same day) about the Visa application result ,whether approval or refusal of visa. For successful applicants we also want to know their UK arrival dates.

After Arrival in the UK

Students are expected to report to the college on the same or next working day of their arrival in UK. Students must register and enroll with us on the given enrolment date, if for any reasons a student can not enroll within 10 working days of the enrolment date the college will inform UKBA for no show and provide genuine and appropriate reason. If in any case student can not join the college before latest joining date then college must be informed for the reason and a request to issue an extension letter.
If a student defers their studies after they have arrived in the UK, their permission to be in the UK will no longer be valid because they will not be actively studying. We will need to inform UKBA of the deferral and advise the student to leave the UK. When the student is ready to continue their studies, they will need to make a new visa application.
