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: • Academic transcripts (with official translations, if not originally in English) • Evidence of English Language level • Copy of passport
• Explanation of any study gaps
• Copies of any previous/current UK visas
Additional documentation may be required depending on the course. Our Admissions team will contact you should this be the case.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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) depending on the type of visa you require. If you need to obtain a visa, you will need to use your CAS/CoE to support your visa application. Please note a CAS can only be issued up to six months before the start of the course (if you apply from outside the UK) or up to three months (if you are eligible to apply from within the UK).
5
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.
6
We will send you pre-arrival information. You will need to apply online for your accommodation. Please contact liveinuclan@oncampus.global.
Manchester is the closest international airport to ONCAMPUS UK North. There are various routes you can take to transfer to the accommodation from the airport – by train, bus or taxi. Visit our website for further information. 32
