Suspended Colleges From Tier 4 – Master List of College Suspensions

The following list of schools and colleges have been removed from the Tier 4 Register of Sponsors. This list is historically accurate back to the start of December 2009.

As schools get their sponsor licenses under Tier 4 back, we will place a strike-through on their name.

This list of suspended colleges in the UK will be updated daily.

If you notice a school or college that you think has been suspended from the Sponsors Register, but is not on our UKBA suspended colleges list, then please leave a comment and we will add it to our list.

Please Note: The majority of our staff – including myself – are currently in Thailand where we have 3 offices and a a new one opening soon. Publishing the Registers and updating the Master Suspended List has been disrupted due to the political unrest in Thailand; most of our offices are sadly closed due to their proximity to the troubles. Please bear with us whilst we try to update the lists by hand. Your understanding is kindly requested. I’m sure things will be back to normal regarding updates in no more than 2 weeks (I’m sure a lot sooner, but you just never know).

    2- Any update on London SAM?

    • Hi Faran

      1. Thanks for that. I’ve now added them to the list above.

      2. Still no update I’m afraid. The whole process from inspection to re-inclusion on the Register is a long one; for example, there is a period of 32 days just for exchanging letters following an inspection!

      Have you read their update on the situation, which I’ve posted in a number of places?

  • Have any info when will the suspension be lifted in St.Patrick Collge. Is UKBA already conduct the inspection..How long it will last to visit and lifted the suspension..My application as a student under Tier4 is on process in the embassy when the suspension imposed on the college and ill think that suspended UKBA license is the reason while still they holding it.The commencing date already started last Jan.25 and obviously im already running out of time. Im using a visa letter which i submitted in the embassy last dec.16,2009. If by chance that i will get visa after they lifted the suspension, is there any problem if i went there still using the visa letter or the college should provide me CAS which i think is the required for now and not the visa letter anymore. thanks

    • Hi Abby

      There is still no update on that college, but they have released the following statement on their website:

      Notice to all staff and students at St-Patrick’s College

      1. Some of you may be aware that St Patrick’s College UK Border Agency (UKBA) Sponsorship Licence has been temporarily suspended with effect from 18 January. Do not be alarmed. This is not a measure aimed at St Patrick’s College alone. About 60 Colleges have received similar notification. The UKBA seems to have a general query affecting the private college sector as a whole, and a response is therefore being co-ordinated at sector level by inter alia the British Accreditation Council (BAC), UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA), and Study UK.

      2. We believe that most of the UKBA ‘s questions relate to student attendance figures. It is normal procedure in such cases to suspend a College Licence for a short period whilst UKBA clarify the position. Many Colleges have gone through this procedure in the past, and many have had their Licence fully restored once the clarification has been received.

      3. Our Licence has been temporarily suspended until the UKBA has the opportunity to visit the College and satisfy themselves that our procedures comply with their requirements. We expect their visit to take place quite soon. I am confident that we will be able to answer all of the UKBA’s questions satisfactorily and that our Licence will be restored in due course. The College will of course collaborate fully with the UKBA team, and I welcome the chance to explain to them that our own procedures not only comply with, but in fact exceed, the stringent requirements which they set.

      4. Meanwhile, I wish to emphasise that pending the outcome of the investigation, the College is continuing with all of its activities in the normal way. Our induction programme has taken place as planned, our teaching programme for the new term will commence on 25 January, and the refurbishment of the new premises at Sheraton Street is on schedule.

      5. I wish you all a successful new term, and will keep you informed of developments. You, our students, can help the College by continuing to fulfil all the UKBA’s requirements. Please ensure that you attend all your classes on time, submit your assignments on time, and do not breach the terms of your student visa. It is vital that both the College and the students give the UKBA no reason to doubt our, or your, integrity. A student visa is granted to enable you to study. Please remember that and act accordingly.

      Raj Kumaran
      Director of Education

      You are correct Abby, your visa application has been placed on hold whilst the suspension is resolved. According to the UKBA, your application should be considered on its original merits and in relation to the date you submitted your application. However, knowing VFS, I wouldn’t be surprised if some students had their applications refused.

      Have you spoken with your college to defer entry to your course? What kind of information have you been able o get from them – have they provided any guidance to you about the whole situation at all?

    • Hi Marc

      As of 16 February 2010 this college is still suspended.

      There is no update on their website so I have contact them for a press release and will post anything I receive in reply.

      Have you tried to speak with the college directly? What are they saying?

      • Hi Daniel, at first thanks for making this kind of site or blog. I think it’s a great help. Anyways I am also a student of London East Bank College. Well, my course suppose to start on the 25th January but when I went there on the 25th they said to come back for induction next week which I attended. After that I was told to start my course from 22nd February. I went there on that day, i was given a piece of paper where it says because of the poor English language ability it is told by the UKBA that some of the students need to attend English language course and they also put a list of those students. My name was not in the list and I was told by the college admin to come back on the 15th March when my course will start. So I don’t know what’s exactly going on. On top of that I sent my passport for extension; already had my Biometric taken. Do you think there’s a possibility of my college coming back on to the Tier 4 Sponsor list? What should I do now? Any advise? For your kind information I just got enrolled as a new fresher or new student. Many thanks. Any advice/suggetion would be highly appreciated.

        • Hi Jasim

          I think you’ll need to wait for the outcome of your visa extension application now. How long is left to run on your visa? if you don’t have much time you should seriously consider switching college, or you may not be able to extend your visa. But you would probably not get your fees back without a fight.

          Have you had any more news from the school? I think they’re probably trying to delay the start date as long as possible, in order to give admission to as many students as possible who have been affected by the suspension.

          • Hi Daniel,
            How are you? I’ve actually sent my passport to the Home Office for extension. London East Bank College was on the Tier 4 list when I applied for the extension which was in December. I had my Bio-Metric taken and since then I haven’t got any reply from Home Office. However My course finally started on the 15th of March. I’ve already spoken to my Principal and asked him if there’s any chance of our college suspension been lifted by the UKBA. He smiled and answered he’s sure it will but not sure WHEN.

            As far as my money back, I highly doubt I will get it. I am fed of chasing them. And also sooo many other students running after college for the refunds. I just pray and hope that college comes back to the Tier 4 list and I get my passport back along with the visa. Then I’ll switch my college.
            Many Thanks

    • London SAM have the following statement on their website (other than that, no one has any further information as to when their suspension will be resolved):

      LondonSAM wishes to make the following announcement:

      LondonSAM’s Tier 4 Sponsorship Licence has been put on hold by UKBA. The College is continuing with its normal activities from guidance given by UKBA; it will carry on with its obligations as a Sponsor. There will not be any interruptions to any lectures.

      We are awaiting further clarification from UKBA. As soon as we have determined the reason, we will address the situation as soon as possible. Meanwhile, please note:

      1. Those who are enrolled with us at the moment will continue with their studies as normal.
      2. Students NOT attending lectures in accordance with their timetable will be reported to UKBA.
      3. For those students who have been granted visas and are on their way to study, the College will fulfil its obligations.
      4. Until clear guidance from UKBA is given, we will not be issuing any further visa letters.
      5. We will update this web site as soon as there is further development.

  • Dear Sir,
    My college is Guildhall college. I know they are not in Tier-4 list.
    But College Head says they will get Tier-4 back so dont worry. He is not allowing me to leave college because he is not ready to give refund.
    Please advice me…I am desparate!

    May God bless you this advice site.

      He’s probably right and well within his rights to insist you stay – at least until the suspension is resolved. I’m sure the college’s terms & conditions are very specific about refund policy. Have a good read of them and ask any questions you have.

      Has Guildhall been inspected yet?

    • Hi Dominador

      Following an inspection, it normally takes 28 days for the UK Border Agency to report their findings. This is the minimum time following an inspection that an education provider can be re-included on the Register of Sponsors.

    • Hi James

      If you mean would students still score the same number of points for studying at a B-rated institution, then the answer is yes. The criteria is that the college is listed on the Sponsor Register – visas are not decided based on the A or B rating.

  • Hi can you please advise if I do get my Visa application pulled at the UK Consulate in Canberra (AUS) will I get a full refund of my fees as this is not my fault that they have had their licence suspended?My course is due to start at on the 8th of March and I may not even have a course to come back to London for!The principal was really vague and tried to palm me off when I questioned him about this.
    Looking forward to your reply!

    • Hi Melanie, thanks for your comments.

      You shouldn’t have your application pulled – it should be placed on hold and decided once the suspension has been resolved. However, in some cases students have had their applications refused. We’ve found that often students or agents can negotiate quite hard with the college and get them to cover the cost of a fresh visa application. If the college is downgraded to a B-rating I would definitely play hard-ball, as this suggests some breach of the rules on the colleges part, making them partly liable for subsequent visa refusals.

      Where have you applied to study Melanie?

      Keep me updated with your application, let me know if I can help in any way and good luck!

      • hi daniel
        may you please enlighten me about the meaning of application being “on hold” . Does it mean that consulate already reviewed it and they have made decision , But NOT releasing it just yet until issue has been resolved? Or, it hasn’t been reviewed yet at all, because they saw that your college is amongst the suspended ones, and they’ll start to review your documents only when things are OK.
        thank you, hope you could reply.

    • Hi Neema

      SIRM have made the following statement available via their website:

      Suspension of Sponsor Licence (The School of Information Risk Management)

      We would like to inform you that SIRM Sponsor Licence has been temporarily suspended due to unknown reasons on Monday, 18th January 2010.

      What happened if suspended:
      During suspension, college can operate as normal, teach and carry on the with education provisions. The only thing college cannot do is, Sponsoring a Migrant which means we can’t admit new students and issue visa letters.

      What next:
      Home Office will visit us at the earliest and then college will be given 28 days to respond to their queries to satisfy them to be re-instated.

      Visa expiry students:
      Those students, whose visas are due to expire by the end of January 2010, please contact a member of Admin Department so that they can instruct you further.

      Change of college:
      Students, who wish to withdraw their course and obtain fee refund due to sponsor licence suspension, are not eligible for refund until we hear a final decision from Home Office. You are requested to wait for further updates.

      Affect on Visa for local and international student:
      Suspension of sponsor licence does not affect student’s visa.

      Students who have been granted visa by BHC can travel to UK and join SIRM for their studies.

      Students, who have applied for visa from outside/inside UK (at BHC/Home Office) and are yet to obtain the visa, are requested to wait. Their applications are likely to be put on hold until a decision has been taken by UKBA.

      Instructions for students:
      Due to your visa implications, you are required to carry on with your studies at SIRM. If you fail to do so, you will face serious problems such as cancellation of admission.

      SIRM will keep updating you regarding our licence and Home Office visit.

      If you wish to discuss or need further information please email us at info@sirm.ac and you will receive a prompt response.

      We thank you all for your cooperation, support, trust and confidence on SIRM and we will make sure to provide you the quality education.

      London SAM has been suspended for sometime now. But, they’ve released the following statement on their website (other than that, I know no more – I will try to contact them):

      LondonSAM wishes to make the following announcement:

      LondonSAM’s Tier 4 Sponsorship Licence has been put on hold by UKBA. The College is continuing with its normal activities from guidance given by UKBA; it will carry on with its obligations as a Sponsor. There will not be any interruptions to any lectures.

      We are awaiting further clarification from UKBA. As soon as we have determined the reason, we will address the situation as soon as possible. Meanwhile, please note:

      1. Those who are enrolled with us at the moment will continue with their studies as normal.
      2. Students NOT attending lectures in accordance with their timetable will be reported to UKBA.
      3. For those students who have been granted visas and are on their way to study, the College will fulfil its obligations.
      4. Until clear guidance from UKBA is given, we will not be issuing any further visa letters.
      5. We will update this web site as soon as there is further development.

      This college operates out of a business center and the college’s phone and fax line have not been disconnected, so doubt they have shut down.

      Are they currently closed for a break or are you meant to be taking classes right now?

      If your college’s sponsor licence is withdrawn permanently, your permission to enter the UK will be limited in the following way:

      - to 60 days if you were not involved in the reasons why your approved education provider had their licence withdrawn (the UKBA will not limit your permission to stay if you have less than six months left. You may want to apply for permission to stay with another approved education provider during this time);
      - immediately if the UKBA think you were involved in the reasons why your sponsor’s licence was withdrawn.

      I’ll contact the college for a press release and post any reply I receive.

      Keep me posted on your situation too.

          I’m not sure. At any rate, it will take them some time to be visited by the UK Border Agency and for the inspection team to report their findings. There are also a series of written exchanges following the UK Border Agency’s visit and this exchange of letters alone lasts 32 days.

          There’s no statement on the colleges website so I have asked them for a press release.

            Im wondering if you could have new news about LTC college. Ive heard from ex-worker of the college that their license had been withdrawn at the end of March, but the school hasnt told anything and its still open.
            I called the home office but they dont provide any infomation about sponsor and if the license has been revoked, schools have to tell students, which means students don know anything unless schools tell us.
            So, If you could have the truth, it would be much appreciated.

                LTC’s licence has been revoked on 15th of March. That has been announced today from the director.

                According to 60days rule, students have only 3weeks left to find new school.

                The school claimed that they were looking for new licensed college who will take over LTC and all students would be transferred to a new school. Also they dont provide a certificate unless students write a letter to stop a course or enrolment letter from new school.

                I just wonder if students have the rignt to ask for a certificate in case schools have lost their licence. Do you have any idea?

                Anyway, LTC is goin to trap all students.

      • Where are you applying from? The Philippines seems to be experiencing severe delays with applications and there are still blanket bans in some parts of the world.

        • Hi Hana

          Many people are complaining of delays to visa applications in the Philippines and their doesn’t seem to be an explanation – the Embassy has been very quiet. I think the figures will be shocking when they’re released on the VFS website.

          How long have you been waiting for your visa?

    • Any news on London College of Law and Management? They claimed to have their suspension lifted!

      • Hi Joseph

        As of 29 March 2010 they do not appear on the Register of Sponsors. Their suspension could well be lifted and there could be a delay in getting their name back on the list, but this should not be more than a few days.
