SGLC Visa Student Enrolments

Please note that due to increasingly strict UKBA regulations, from now on ALL TIER 4 VISA students will now be required to do an oral test as well as a written test before we issue documents.

If students falsify documents to prove their English level and arrive in the UK with a low level of English, they will be reported to the UKBA and they will be given 60 days to leave the UK.

By verifying a student’s oral level ourselves on application, we are protecting the student and the school.

 Please note that from now the following rules will apply:

  • Students must send a completed written level test, completed in the agent’s office under exam conditions, done in pen. The agent must stamp and sign every page of the completed test to verify that the test was done in the agency office.
  • All Students MUST PAY a deposit before we issue any enrolment documentation
  •  Tier 4 Visa = £60 (if no accommodation is requested) or £110 (if accommodation is requested)
  •  Student Visitor`s Visa = £50 (if no accommodation is requested) or £100 (if accommodation is requested) plus any costs incurred for DHL if courier delivery is requested

Once we have received deposit:

  • Student Services staff will contact the agent to arrange an oral test for the student with the Academic Director on Skype. The student will be given a short test lasting 5-10 minutes to check their comprehension skills and spoken English
  •  Oral tests will be on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (10.00am, 11.15am & 11.45am) and Tuesday and Friday afternoons (2.00pm-4.00pm). In order to schedule the interview, you must send us:
  • The student’s personal email address for us to advise them of interview time
  • The student’s Skype address for us to interview them
  • The student must use a webcam when doing this Skype test and clearly show the Academic Director his/her passport before starting the test as proof of identity. We will take a screen shot of the student and passport for our records to check student’s identity.
  • The student’s written score and oral score will both be stated on the SGLC proof of level certificate which will be issued with enrolment documents.

For Tier 4 students:

 

Shane Global will send un-headed enrolment documents by email for you to double check all details are correct. It is VERY important that you check that all information is correct before this information is input on the CAS system!

  • SGLC will put all enrolment information on the CAS system once you have confirmed that all details are OK
  • SGLC emails scanned enrolment documents to you (originals are no longer necessary)
  • The student applies for a visa
  • The student confirms receipt of visa and pays remaining balance.

Please allow a minimum of 4 working days for us to process and send Tier 4 enrolment documents.

**IMPORTANT! IF A STUDENT CHANGES ANY INFORMATION AFTER THE BOOKING HAS BEEN PROCESSED ON THE CAS SYSTEM, DUE TO HOME OFFICE RULES WE HAVE TO CANCEL THE ORIGINAL CAS CERTIFICATE, AND PROCESS THE ENROLMENT AGAIN WITH A NEW CAS NUMBER AND ANOTHER CHARGE OF £10 CAS FEE + £50 REGISTRATION FEE FOR THE ADMIN INVOLVED IN RE-PROCESSING ALL DOCUMENTS.

*** PLEASE HELP US AVOID EXTRA COSTS TO YOUR STUDENT AND DELAYS IN PAPERWORK BY CHECKING ALL INFORMATION WITH STUDENTS BEFORE YOU CONFIRM WE CAN GO AHEAD WITH THE CAS ENROLMENT***

DO NOT  APPLY FOR A VISA UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE CORRECT CAS LETTER FROM SHANE GLOBAL. IF STUDENTS HAVE CHANGED THEIR BOOKING AND THEY APPLY WITH THE ORIGINAL CAS LETTER INSTEAD OF THE NEW ONE THEIR VISA WILL BE DENIED!! **

Student Visitor’s Visa:

Original documents will continue to be sent by post. If a student makes any changes to their course booking, a further £50 registration fee will be charged. If DHL delivery is requested, this fee will be added to the deposit fee before documents are released.

 

We appreciate your assistance and understanding in this matter.
