Preparing for enrolment: key immigration issues

This course will enable staff members to deal with the key immigration issues that arise during enrolment periods.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• recognise endorsements/stamps in students' passports
• understand the implications for international students who enter the UK via the Republic of Ireland
• identify the main immigration categories that permit study in the UK
• check students' immigration permission and know how errors can be corrected
• understand which documents need to be copied and retained in order to meet Home Office requirements
• assist students who have leave to study at a different institution
• know when it is appropriate to refer students for further advice

This course is suitable for:

anyone who is involved with enrolling international students. This course acts both as a 'refresher' and as an introduction to the basic immigration knowledge needed to enrol students; it may also be of particular interest to you if you oversee enrolment processes at your institution and/or train staff prior to enrolment. Delegates will not be expected to have attended any other UKCISA training courses, but will be expected to be familiar with the basic concepts of Tier 4 and have read UKCISA's overview of the student immigration rules before the course.
