College got their Tier 4 License revoked - read on

IF YOUR COLLEGE HAS HAD THEIR TIER 4 LICENSE REVOKED

• Students with applications outstanding: they will be given a period of time to find a new sponsor and the application is kept on hold.

• Students with leave at the institution: in most cases they will have their leave curtailed down to 60 days (starting from the date of notification by the Home Office) in which to find a new sponsor. 

• Students overseas who have not yet travelled: will have their visa cancelled. If the student does travel to the UK they will be refused entry.

•  Students seeking a refund of any fees paid to their college or university: will need to discuss this with their educational institution; the Home Office cannot become involved in these discussions as it is a contractual issue between an individual and their education provider.

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If your college has been revoked, or suspended it is advised that you start looking for a new Highly Trusted Tier 4 sponsor immediately.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IF your college has already been revoked, keep requesting your document or copies of your documents.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.
