 POLLARD ENGLISH will assess whether the student’s qualifications, experience, and English language proficiency are appropriate for the course (ELICOS Academic only) for which enrolment is sought. All the relevant documents provided by the student will be assessed and verified by the Director of Studies.

The verification might include a reference check, telephone or face-to-face interview with the student, or a request for the qualifications to be verified by the issuing authorities.

Step 4: Issuing Letter of Offer or Letter of Rejection

The Director of Studies will assess the application(s) and issue a Letter of Offer or a Letter of Rejection.

1. A Letter of Offer will be issued to the successful applicant, or:
2. A Letter of Conditional Offer will be issued to a successful applicant who needs to satisfy the conditions before a full offer can be issued or
3. A Letter of Rejection with reasons will be sent to the unsuccessful applicant.

All the original versions of documents will be verified, and copies stored in the student’s files at POLLARD ENGLISH for future reference. A Letter of Offer is valid for 28 days from the date of issue.

Step 5: Accepting the Letter of Offer

Upon receiving the Letter of Offer, Students will need to carefully read the terms and conditions attached to the Letter of Offer. The student must read, understand and agree to the terms and conditions attached to the Letter of Offer, then they must sign the Letter of Offer (and initial each page of the Offer Letter) and pay the tuition fee (as outlined in POLLARD ENGLISH Fees and Charges Schedule).
