Please plan your course, accommodation, travel and other matters carefully
Look after your valuables

Take good care of your money and other valuables and beware of pickpockets in crowded places, especially when crossing the street or getting on or off a bus or a train. Money and other valuables are best deposited in a safe place.
Absenteeism / Illness

* If you are going to be absent, please let us know in advance.
* If you are ill or go into hospital, please let us know at your earliest convenience.

NHS Registration

Those eligible should register with an NHS (National Health Service) doctor near where they live. Their landlady or the Post Office will be able to give them the address of a local NHS doctor. Others are advised to register with a private doctor. Further information is available from the college.
Fees

Fees are calculated by the week, irrespective of any public holiday, i.e., the fees per week remain the same even if there is a Bank Holiday in a week. Fees must be settled before or on commencement of the course.

We reserve the right to alter fees and courses without notice.
Wednesday morning lessons

All morning classes finish fifteen minutes earlier on Wednesdays for the weekly teachers' meeting to discuss ways of teaching, student welfare and other academic matters.
Extending your English course

An existing student who wishes to continue at the College must re-enrol at least two weeks before his or her current registration expires. Once a student has booked a course, in general we cannot change the type or length of the course without prior arrangement. Students are not allowed to take a break in the course unless it is on medical grounds or for some other urgent reason. Students taking examinations in June or December must book and continue with us until the end of June or mid-December respectively.
Accommodation rules

Students must observe the conditions of the hostel, hotel or family or the agency. Family accommodation is based on a guest-host relationship. As generally no changes can be made after the accommodation has been arranged, students are advised not to book accommodation for long periods. If they wish to extend their stay with the same family, they should find out from the College in the first couple of weeks whether this would be possible. Please note that the contract is between the student and the host-family, hotel or hostel or the agency.
Advance notice for certificates

If you need a letter or an attendance certificate or some other document or information, please give us advance notice.
Student Visa

Non-European Union students are strongly advised to apply for entry clearance as students (not as tourists) from the British Embassy or Consulate before arrival in this country. You need to have a letter of enrolment, evidence of funds, and to have an acceptable plan to study in this country and to leave the UK at the end of your course(s).

Where applicable, the visa needs to be renewed before the expiry date, by post or in person.

The Home Office address is:
Home Office, Nationality and Immigration Department,
Lunar House, Wellesley Road, Croydon CR9 2BYT

(about 40 minutes by train from Victoria main line station).
Making the most of your stay

Students are asked to attend regularly and co-operate and work hard to obtain the maximum benefit from their stay with us. An unsatisfactory student may be asked to leave the College. Regular attendance is required.

When in doubt or difficulty with regard to any matter, please speak to your teacher, the Director of Studies or the Principal. We are here to help you achieve success with English and to make your stay a happy one. Sels College is a member of English UK (formerly ARELS) who may be contacted in case of a dispute concerning an important matter at 56 Buckingham Gate, London SW1E 6AG or our solicitor.

It is assumed that the student has read this information and the other pages and agrees to observe the conditions of enrolment and the laws of the United Kingdom.
