All queries will be answered.

United Kingdom student registration procedure
UK students requiring admission are given an application form to complete and then remit to the college along with attached certified copies of their academic documents, including certificates and, where available, formal transcripts of their academic record, providing full details of the degrees, classes, or grades obtained including the units taken along with two academic or work references. This information is essential to the selection process .

International student registration procedure
LCPS provides education for students from throughout the world. Students belong to different cultures and derive from varied backgrounds. Each enriches LCPS unique educational environment.

The college can be contacted through its website, e-mail, telephone, letter or face-to-face on campus. LCPS has representatives internationally.

To enrol at LCPS, please note the following procedure.

  1. Payment of the registration fee of £150 - this is non-refundable .
  2. LCPS will not issue any documentation until the consultant / agent remits to LCPS the completed registration form and non-refundable deposit from the student.
  3. The consultant must receive the relevant academic support documents from the applicant and then assess whether or not they meet the criterion for the course and, thereafter, advise the student with regard to course enrolment.
  4. Upon receiving feedback from the consultant, along with the required documents, the college will issue the acceptance letter .
  5. The college is bound not to admit / enrol any student without the involvement of the authorised representative.
  6. The representative will not charge for any application referred directly by the college.
  7. The representative will fax and email the student's registration details along with the Bank Draft in favour of the Leicester School of Professional Studies, and shall retain the course fee draft until a decision is taken by the Embassy / High Commission.
  8. No student under the age of 18 years will be admitted for any course.

Policies and procedures with regard to the non-arrival of a student
Where a visa application is not successful, the college representative must fax the refusal letter from the Embassy / High Commission along with a copy of the passport details.

The original admission letters from the Embassy / High Commission must be sent to the college by certified post. If a student obtains a visa and does not report to the college by the due date they will be considered as a "non-arrival" and the Home Office will be advised.

According to LCPS policy, a list is made of all the non-arrival students and their details are sent to the Home Office and the appropriate Embassy / High Commission.

Policies and procedures for the non-attendance of a student
Student attendance is strictly monitored. Non-attendance is not acceptable unless validated reasons are given.

According to LCPS policy, a warning notice is sent to students who stay absent for one week without any notification. Failure to attend classes consecutively for one month (without notice) will result in the student being expelled from LCPS. The Home Office will be advised of the expulsion.

Students must meet the minimum 80% attendance requirement. If this is not done they face expulsion and their details will be forwarded to the Home Office.
