Why am I required to attend International Check-in and then again the following year?
Answer
As per the requirements of our licenses, we are required to keep records of the following immigration documents for all students who hold a nationality outside of the UK and Ireland (this may well include students who have been fee assessed as “Home”):
-
Current Visa;
-
Current Passport;
-
ATAS Certificate (if applicable);
-
Documents used to assess the student credibility for the course:
-
Academic Certificate (if applicable);
-
English Language Certificate (if applicable);
-
All of the above documents are checked at International Check-in when a student first registers for their course.
Every student is asked to re-register every year as stated in the academic regulations. This also allows the University to check those documents again if required, ensure the immigration status of the student has not changed and also to advise students who have retakes, reassessments or repeats and the impact this has on their visa. If we are able to proceed without physically checking a student's documents again, they will be able to complete registration without an international check-in appointment.
