TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1 Students are to pay all course fees and any bank charges incurred in clearing transferred funds.

2 Tyne Coast College will pay for one CAS Reference from the fee. Subsequent charges are to be met by the
student unless caused by a college error.

3 Full course fees must be paid within 12 to 6 weeks before the commencement of the course otherwise a CAS
Reference will not be issued. You will be asked to defer to a later course.

4 Once your CAS is issued, fees will not be refunded but will be transferable to a future course date. Under
extremely extenuating circumstances proven by authentic documents, a refund may be considered. If a refund is
granted, then all fees will be returned minus the deposit of £1000 plus an admin charge. In short you will not be
able to change your mind after a CAS is issued.

5 If your visa is granted you must attend the course or you will forfeit the entire money paid to the college. Under
extenuating circumstances, an extension of joining date may be given.

6 If your visa application is refused on grounds under Immigration rules part 9: paragraph 9.7.1 to 9.7.4 relating to
false representations/documents, no refund of fees will be made and Tyne Coast College will refuse to sponsor
you to attend any future course.

7 If your visa is refused on other grounds, we will assess whether to transfer your booking to a later course date.
Deposit and balance of fees would be transferred to the later date minus a £50 administration fee.

8 Updates with reference to your visa application must be sent to us on a regular basis. As soon as the outcome
of your visa application is known, a copy of the visa or full refusal document should be sent to us.

9 Late entrants will not be accepted past the last acceptance date. These students and no-shows are required to
be reported to the UKVI.

 TUBERCULOSIS SCREENING
We would like to advise you of the new system that the UK Visa and Immigration have in place for testing students for
tuberculosis before entry into the UK.

If you want to travel to the UK for longer than 6 months you must be screened and obtain a certificate from an approved
clinic to show that you are free of TB before you make a UK visa application in the categories listed above.

There will be a fee for the diagnostic tests which can be found on the specific country detail links below. The certificate
will usually be valid for 6 months. If you are tested positive for TB you will be referred for treatment. You will not be
permitted to travel to the UK until you have been tested as being free of TB, including following successful treatment.
