 For those not familiar with the term 'LEGACY SPONSOR'-:

UKVI  introduced Legacy sponsor for institutes/colleges who are unable to meet their standard requirements of Tier 4 licence.  As a result Legacy sponsor will be force to shut their activities in a specific time of period if the corrections/recommendations by UKVI upon further inspection within a specified period is not made.

You will need to do several things after finding out the exact situation from your college or even simply making the decision to change colleges as often times in our experience, the affected college does not inform their students in time or some even close without any notice to the students.

• Find a new Tier 4 Highly Trusted Sponsor (College/University)  before 60days or immediately
•  Try to get any refund that may be due to you from the college about to be closed
• Organise and pay Tuition fees for your new CAS to apply for your  new visa.
• Make sure you have enough maintenance funds as indicated by UKVI to apply  for your visa under a new Tier 4 sponsor.
• Book for IELTS/TOEFL  with a UKVI approved centre to prove your English proficiency to your new sponsor (some nationalities may not have to take an English test -click here)
