For more information about the Under 18 Supplement, visit www.oncampus.global/about-us. Our Under 18 accommodation policy can also be found at this link.

For more information about Student Cover, visit www.oncampus.global/insurance

Under British Law, anyone under 18 is legally classed as a child, and such students often have different needs for welfare and support. ONCAMPUS provides a range of extra tailored services covered by the under 18s supplementary fee, which is automatically added to the student’s account. Students have access to experienced welfare personnel who provide both academic and emotional support before and after arrival, as well as an independent guardian from the professionally accredited College Guardian initiative.

It’s essential for international students to take out adequate insurance while studying. ‘Student Cover’ has been created in partnership with Endsleigh, the UK’s largest student insurance provider. With both standard and premium options, ‘Student Cover’ is specifically designed to meet your needs while studying with us – from the time you set off to the moment you arrive back home.

About Student Life

Under 18 Supplement Under British Law, anyone under 18 is legally classed as a child, and such students often have different needs for welfare and support. ONCAMPUS provides a range of extra tailored services covered by the under 18s supplementary fee, which is automatically added to the student’s account. Students have access to experienced welfare personnel who provide both academic and emotional support before and after arrival, as well as an independent guardian from the professionally accredited College Guardian initiative. For more information about the Under 18 Supplement, visit www.oncampus.global/about-us. Our Under 18 accommodation policy can also be found at this link.

Student Cover

Steps 1

Submit your application by one of the following methods: • Online: www.oncampus.global Email: admissions@oncampus.global Please remember to include all relevant documentation: • Copy of your passport

• Explanation of any study gaps • Copies of any previous/current study visas Additional documentation may be required depending on the course. Our Admissions Team will contact you should this be the case.

Our Central Admissions team will review your application. We will send you an offer letter which will list any outstanding conditions. We will remove any conditions that have already been met. If we think the course is not right for you, we will suggest an alternative.

If we have any queries about your application, we will contact you for further information.

To accept your place on the course, you will need to meet all the remaining conditions, including payment of the deposit/registration fee or proof of government sponsorship. We can only confirm your place once all conditions have been met. Although, once the deposit is paid, we will hold a place for you. Please note that if you require a visa to study with us, you may need to provide additional evidence to comply with the visa regulations in the UK. These are the requirements of the government and not of ONCAMPUS. Your assistance in meeting these requirements is much appreciated.

Once you have paid your deposit and met all the conditions of offer, we will confirm your place and send you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) or a Certificate of Enrolment (CoE) if you do not need a CAS.

If you need a visa, you will need your CAS to support your visa application. Please note that a CAS is going to be issued three months prior to the course start date.

You will then need to apply for a visa if you require one to study in the UK. It is your responsibility to obtain a visa before you travel to join the course.

If you do not have a valid visa for studies in the UK, you will not be able to join the course. You are required to pay at least the 1st term’s tuition fees before you begin your studies at ONCAMPUS. You should arrive on the weekend before the start date of the course. Please check your CAS or CoE for further details.

We will send you pre-arrival information. The accommodation application form will be included in the pre-arrival information. You should complete the form, selecting your preferred option, and return it to ONCAMPUS Reading by email at liveinreading@oncampus.global.

London Heathrow is the closest international airport to ONCAMPUS Reading. You can transfer to your accommodation by train, coach or taxi. Be advised that public transport is the cheapest option. Please refer to the pre-arrival information that we send you for more details.
