Overview

The admissions and enrolment process at London Innovative Studies is designed to ensure that all prospective students are assessed fairly and meet the necessary entry requirements before joining a program. This procedure outlines each stage of the admissions and enrolment process, from application to course registration.

1. Application Submission

• Application Form: Prospective students must complete the official application form, which can be downloaded from the London Innovative Studies School website or requested by email.
• Required Documents: Applicants must submit all necessary supporting documents with their application, including:
  • Proof of academic qualifications
  • Evidence of English language proficiency (if applicable)
  • Copy of a valid passport or ID
  • Financial documentation (if required)
• Application Fee: An application fee may be required and must be paid before the application can be processed.

2. Initial Screening and Eligibility Check

• Document Verification: The Admissions Team reviews submitted documents to verify authenticity and ensure they meet the program’s academic and language requirements.
• Eligibility Check: Each application is assessed based on program-specific entry criteria, including minimum academic qualifications, relevant experience (if applicable), and language proficiency.
• Application Status Update: If the application is incomplete or requires additional information, the Admissions Team contacts the applicant to request further documentation.

3. Interview (if applicable)

• Interview Requirement: Some programs may require an interview as part of the admissions process.
• Scheduling: If an interview is needed, the Admissions Team schedules an interview with the applicant, which can be conducted in person or online.
• Evaluation: During the interview, the applicant’s motivation, goals, and suitability for the program are assessed.

4. Decision-Making and Offer of Admission

• Decision Review: Completed applications and interview results (if applicable) are reviewed by the Admissions Team or the Program Director.
• Issuing Offer Letter: If the applicant is accepted, an Offer Letter is issued, specifying the program details, conditions of admission, tuition fees, and payment deadlines.
• Conditional Offers: Applicants who meet most criteria but have pending academic results or other requirements may receive a conditional offer, subject to completing the outstanding requirements.

5. Acceptance of Offer and Deposit Payment

• Offer Acceptance: Applicants who accept their offer must sign and return the Acceptance Form provided with the Offer Letter.
• Deposit Payment: A non-refundable deposit is required to secure the place. This amount is deducted from the total tuition fee and must be paid before issuing the Confirmation of Enrolment.
• Confirmation of Acceptance: Once the acceptance form and deposit are received, the Admissions Team updates the student’s status to “Accepted.”

6. Pre-Enrolment Requirements

• Document Submission: Any outstanding documents (such as final academic transcripts) must be submitted before enrolment.
• Visa Documentation (if applicable): For international students, the College issues a Visa Support Letter once the enrolment deposit is received, allowing the student to apply for a visa (if required).
• Orientation Information: Students receive pre-enrolment materials, including orientation schedules, student handbook, and key contacts.

7. Enrolment and Course Registration

• Enrolment Confirmation: The Admissions Team issues a Confirmation of Enrolment once all pre-enrolment requirements are met. This document formally registers the student in their chosen program.
• Student ID and Access: Students are assigned a student ID number, which provides access to College resources, email accounts, and online learning platforms.
• Course Registration: Students are guided through the course registration process and provided with their class schedule.

8. Induction and Orientation

• Orientation Program: At the start of the program, an orientation session introduces students to campus facilities, College policies, and available support services.
• Meeting with Academic Advisors: New students meet with their academic advisors to discuss program expectations, goals, and academic support resources.

9. Record Keeping

• Student File Creation: A digital and physical file is created for each student, containing their application, admission records, financial information, and enrolment documentation.
• Data Protection Compliance: All student records are securely stored in compliance with data protection regulations and are accessible only by authorized personnel.

10. Monitoring and Follow-Up

• Enrolment Verification: The Admissions and Registrar Teams verify enrolment at the start of each term to ensure all students have registered and paid their fees.
• Follow-Up Communication: Any issues related to missing documentation, unpaid fees, or attendance are promptly addressed with the student, ensuring compliance with College policies.

This procedure ensures a structured, transparent admissions and enrolment process for students at London Innovative Studies, supporting a smooth transition from applicant to enrolled student.
