[Course Fees] [Accommodation Fees] [How to Pay] [Enrolment Procedure] [Visa Applications] [Terms and Conditions]

Enrolment Procedure

First read the Terms and Conditions.
Complete the Enrolment Form and send it to us.
We will - within 24 hours - send you an invoice which will tell you how much you have to pay for your course and, if required, your accommodation and airport transfer.
If you are happy with the details shown on the invoice you can then pay in full or with only a deposit. (see How to Pay for information on deposits). Remember to send us evidence of your payment and the amount in pounds sterling.
When we have received your payment we will issue you with a Certificate of Enrolment that shows the course type and dates, accommodation type and dates (if required), how much has been paid and how much is outstanding. If you need a visa to enter the UK please show the Certificate of Enrolment to the British Embassy or immigration officials at a UK port of entry.
If you are a visa-national we will not confirm your accommodation address until you have informed us of your visa status. As soon as your visa has been confirmed (don't forget to tell us!) we will send you the address and further information regarding your host family.

Please note that Visa National students must confirm their entry clearance (visa status) to the UK two weeks prior to the start of their accommodation booking in the months of June, July and August. We cannot guarantee accommodation placements if visa confirmations are received with less than two weeks' notice.

[Course Fees] [Accommodation Fees] [How to Pay] [Enrolment Procedure] [Visa Applications] [Terms and Conditions]

Visa Applications

From 1st April 2009 the application procedure for students has changed.
Please look carefully at the information below. If you have any questions please contact us or look at the following websites:
www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/studyingintheuk/
www.ukvisas.gov.uk

Students now have two options for entering the UK as a student:

1. General Student Visa (GSV)

Students who want to study on a General Student Visa can apply by post (the application form can be downloaded from www.ukvisas.gov.uk) or online via the local British Embassy.

There will not be an interview.

You can apply for a General Student Visa for a course at King Street College from one week up to one year. However usually students apply for a GSV if their course is for more than six months.
You can work for 20 hours per week and extend your visa in the UK.
If your course is less than 6 months you will probably receive a visa for the length of the course plus 7 days.
If your course is between 6 months and 12 months you you will probably receive a visa for the length of the course plus two months.

You will have to supply biometric data to a UK visa issuing centre before you apply for your visa.

When you make your application you will need:

a) A Visa letter from a school on the UKBA Register of Sponsors. (King Street College is on the Register)

b) Proof of maintenance funds.
You must have £800 per month for every month you want to study in London up to a maximum of £7,200 for a one year course.
The money can be in your account or, if it is in your sponsor's or parents' account you must have joint access to it.
The money must have been in this account for a minimum of 28 days before you apply for your visa.
If you have not paid for your course in full the balance of the fees must also be in this account.
You can also prove you have the funds by showing a loan in your name or official government sponsorship.

c) Proof of level.
If you are a beginner you cannot apply for a General Student Visa. You have to send the school evidence that you have studied English either in your country or abroad. This can be a high school or university certificate or attendance record showing that you studied English; an internationally recognised English language exam (eg IELTS or Cambridge ESOL or TOEFL); or a certificate from a private language school.

You can send us a copy of the document (which must be officially translated if not in English) but you must send the original with the visa application.
Please note: we CANNOT issue you a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies) until we have seen and checked the document you send us.

2. Student Visitor's Visa (SVV)

If your level of English is very low or you only want a short course you can apply for a Student Visitor's Visa.

The embassy will interview you and assess your financial situation. They will ask your reasons for learning English.
A student visitor's visa is for a period of 6 months even if your course is shorter than that.
You cannot work and you have to return to your country if you want to change or extend the visa.

If you are from a non-visa national country you can apply for the Student Visitor's Visa for free at immigration in the UK.

You will need a Certificate of Enrolment from us showing the course and accommodation (if applicable) booked and the fees paid.

Students on one year courses that start between September and May (inclusive) must use 2 weeks of their holiday allowance in either July or August.

School exam weeks

In order to monitor our students' progress we conduct end of term progress tests. The administration of the tests takes 2-4 days of a week. No refund or postponement can be made if your course falls in one of these weeks. Please check our web site or contact the office for the dates of test weeks.

Course payment terms

To confirm a place on a course we must receive £40 registration fee and the course fees in total.

Please note:

Bank transfers must include sufficient funds to cover any bank charges incurred.

Credit card and non-UK debit card payments carry a 4% charge

We must wait until cheques have cleared (up to 10 working days) before we can issue documents or the student can start the course.

Cancelling Courses

The registration fee is non-refundable under any circumstance.

Before arrival in the UK:
EU students: we must have the cancellation in writing two weeks prior to the start of the course. We will refund all fees minus the registration fee of £40.

If we receive less than two weeks notice that you cannot start the course the registration fee and £100 cancellation fee will be retained from the fees paid.

Non-EU students: no refund of course fees can be made once leave to enter the UK has been granted. We strongly advise students to take out insurance to cover course cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances.

If you wish to cancel your course before you apply for a visa please inform us in writing a minimum of two weeks before your course starts. The refund process may be delayed while we seek confirmation from the Immigration Authorities that you have not been granted a visa. We will retain £100 cancellation fee.

After arrival in the UK.

You cannot cancel or postpone your course once it has started. Students may apply, in writing, for a credit for the unused part of their course. This may be used within a two year period, subject to availability. Credit cannot be passed to third parties and can only be used for general English courses. Credit is calculated according to course fees paid, not weeks booked. Students who choose to shorten their courses will lose the weeks not taken.

Visa refusals

King Street College will retain £100 of the course fees plus the registration fee if leave to enter the UK is refused. However we must receive notification that no entry clearance has been granted at least two weeks prior to the course start date or the course will be deemed to have started and a cancellation fee of 50% of the fees will apply.

Refund applications must be made no later than three months after the date of the refusal.

Refunds are not made while appeals are in progress.

Please note that before granting a refund we must receive the following documents:

* Completed Refund Application form. This is available on-line and in the school office

* Original letter of refusal from the UK Immigration Authorities or a fax sent to the College directly by the Immigration Authorities.

* Original letter issued for presentation to the Embassy or Port of Entry Immigration Authorities

Please note it is the responsibility of the student to provide the necessary documentation to support a refund. Delays to the refund process are likely if we are obliged to seek verification of visa status directly from the embassy concerned.

No refunds will be made if:

* The student is asked to leave the country by the British authorities.

* The student leaves the UK without permission from the school and is refused re-entry.

* The student uses fraudulent documentation in their visa application.

Refund payments are made at the end of each month.

Refunds are made to the person or agent who made the original booking.

Refunds are made by sterling cheque, bank transfer (the beneficiary will pay all charges) or to the credit card the original payment was made from.

Accommodation: booking and general information

To confirm an accommodation booking, we must receive £35 (£40 in June, July and August) booking fee plus payment for the period booked.
The minimum booking period is two weeks.
All accommodation is subject to availability. Please book early. We need a minimum of two weeks notice in order to guarantee host family accommodation. Late confirmations will be subject to availability.
We reserve the right to place students in the second choice of accommodation if the first choice is unavailable.
Accommodation is only reserved for the period paid for. If you wish to extend your booking please give us two weeks notice.
Student initiated changes to the booking (changes to the arrival dates or type of accommodation requested, for example) may incur a further booking fee. This is payable at the discretion of the Principal. We will endeavour to change a student's host family in case of unsatisfactory standards. This will be done as soon as possible. Requests to change accommodation after arrival for reasons other than unsatisfactory standards are at the discretion of the College and subject to availability at the time of the request. In some circumstances, particularly in long accommodation bookings, it may be necessary to change family: we cannot guarantee you will stay with one family for your whole stay.
All payments for accommodation must be paid directly to the school. Attempts to negotiate rent with landlords will result in your booking being cancelled.

Accommodation booking: non-EU students

Visa confirmation or refusal: we must receive notice of your visa status no less than two weeks prior to the start of your accommodation booking in order to guarantee accommodation. Late confirmations will be subject to availability. If you want the details of your accommodation booking before you apply for a visa, we will confirm the family's name and address on receipt of payment, but please be aware of the accommodation cancellation charges.

Cancelling Accommodation

The accommodation booking fee is non-refundable.

Cancellations received in writing with one week’s notice: all unused rent is refunded minus a £50 cancellation fee.

The first two weeks of accommodation booking cannot be cancelled once leave to enter the UK has been granted.

Airport Transfers

It is your responsibility to inform us of your flight details at least two working days before the date of your arrival.

The service you have paid for includes 90 minutes waiting time from the scheduled arrival time. After this period the driver will, unless instructed to stay, leave the airport. Additional waiting time is charged at £10 per hour.

Your transfer booking letter will have the driver's name and telephone number on it and the school's emergency number.

Attendance

All full time students are expected to attend all their classes except in the case of illness or authorised holiday. Please note that the UK Border Agency requires 85% minimum attendance.

It is your responsibility to inform the school of illness or other reasons for absence. A doctor's certificate must be obtained to authorise any absence of more than one week due to illness.

If you are absent from class without authorisation for more than 10 days, you will be removed from the class register and, if you are on a General Student Visa, reported to the UKBA.

Students are encouraged to be punctual. If you are persistently late or only attend part of the class, you will be removed from the register and, if you are on a General Student Visa, reported to the UKBA.

The school will issue a school leaving certificate only if a minimum of 75% attendance has been recorded.

Use of Computers

You may not access inappropriate sites on the Internet or store personal files on the computers.

Behaviour

Students will be expected to behave respectfully towards other students and members of staff and to observe fire and safety rules displayed in the school.

Persistent poor conduct in class or on the school premises will result in expulsion from the school and the school's accommodation with no refund of fees paid.

Force Majeure

A basic stipulation of the agreement/contract between students and King Street College, or its representatives, is that neither King Street College or its representatives are liable for refunds or damages, however arising, in cases where King Street College is unable to fulfil any services to which they are contractually bound because of labour disputes, insufficient demand for classes or other reasons which are beyond their control.

Liability

The school accepts no responsibility for personal injury and/or loss or damage to personal property on the school premises. This also applies to public and private places included in school trips and excursions.

The school is not responsible for the safekeeping or delivery of any post or faxes sent to students at the school address.

Data Protection Act

It is our policy not to disclose information about our students to any third party except the appropriate authorities. We also make every effort to keep your personal information secure and accurate. Please help us to do this by informing us of changes of address, email and telephone number.

Other

Students are expected to keep the school informed of any change to their address, phone number and email in the United Kingdom. For students on a General Student Visa this is a mandatory requirement

The school does not provide parking or storage facilities.

We regret that the school building is not suitable for the provision of facilities for the disabled.
