Compliance Support for a University’s International Student Programme
Sector: Education
A UK university needed to maintain its student sponsor licence to support a diverse international student body. Given the rigorous regulatory standards, they sought a compliance partner to conduct a mock Home Office audit, ensuring their processes were robust, and they remained eligible to host international students.
Our Approach
We conducted a mock Home Office audit and student file review, identifying potential compliance risks and advising on updates to processes and policies to mitigate these. Our recommendations strengthened the university’s ability to manage visa and immigration obligations. We provided practical support to implement updated protocols and continue to serve as their contracted immigration compliance provider, holding regular check-ins and addressing ad-hoc compliance questions.
Outcome
With our ongoing support, the university now confidently manages its international student compliance, ensuring uninterrupted licence status. Our partnership not only safeguarded their sponsor licence but enhanced their processes, allowing them to uphold a compliant and supportive environment for international students.
This case illustrates Immtell’s commitment to providing proactive, compliance solutions for educational institutions, enabling them to focus on academic excellence without regulatory setbacks.
