Navitas UK University pathway guide 2015

Navitas UK and admission of students with previous study history in the UK Please note that colleges must remain within UKVI and University Partner rules and regulations when considering the admission of UK based students for further study. It is always the intention of the college to admit a student where possible, and entry can vary depending on the college and their university partner, but very typically the key considerations will include:

Can you?

• The previous academic performance of the applicant when in UK

• Approval from Partner University/ Faculty and their own internal policy on such matters

• The previous academic performance of the applicant before entering the UK

• Approval from Navitas UK College Senior Team where required

• Possibility of previous extenuating circumstances

• The previous NQF level of the applicant

• Availability of references/personal statements/attendance reports where required

• Tier 4 five year study limits are not going to be exceeded
