College Revoked,What to do next

If your college has been revoked, or suspended it is advised that you start looking for a new Highly Trusted Tier 4 sponsor immediately.

Do not wait to receive the 60 day notification letter from UKVI as you may have missed the enrolment date of many colleges.

You will also need to have as many of your documents as possible to show to the Admissions and Compliance officers at the new college.

Our friends at  Student Recruitment International have created a check list of the documents you will need to provide.  CLICK HERE for more information.

Remember:
As we mentioned in a previous post: If you are at a college that has been suspended, IMMEDIATELY ask for and make sure you get - a copy of ALL your transcripts, progression letters, certificates, CAS letters and other relevant academic records.  This is to avoid being in a situation of not being able to access these documents should the UKVI take the decision to revoke the license of your college.

IF your college has already been revoked, keep requesting your document or copies of your documents.  They should not be charging you to receive these documents.  You have paid for your course and if it  has not been completed, most likely the revoked college owes you money.

Do seek the advice of a solicitor if the college refuses to hand over your documents.
