CONTRACT IS GLOBALIMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL C2C APPLICATIONS
In January 23 C2C sent 2 students to INTO Stirling. They did not register. The company has been given a formal warning from INTO. This cannot happen again or our contract will be terminated.
The following measures have now been put in place for ALL C2C APPLICANTS in order to reduce the risk of referring non genuine students and to protect the reputation of INTO, as well as damage to the sponsor licence that their partner universities hold with UKVI:
1. C2C Counsellors will have their own personal log in to the INTO portal. If you do not already have one you can contact Luke with full details of the application you wish to submit and he will get your registered on the INTO portal.
2 All applications that have come from a sub agent have to go through Luke. You cannot submit an application from a sub agent directly even if you have your own log in. Luke will then carry out identity and credibility checks over zoom with the student and if satisfied Luke will submit the application to INTO. The 2 missing students can via a sub agent.
3 Only IELTS and PTE will be accepted as English language tests from applicants in South Asia. We suspect that one of the missing students had a fake Duolingo certificate or managed to get someone else to do the test.
4 All C2C applicants who receive an offer will have to pay 100% of the tuition fee before a CAS is issued. If the student is going to study a course without the requirement of a CAS 100% of the tuition fee will still have to paid before final confirmation of an offer. Offer letters will NOT state this. Instead you will need to show the student the letter INTO has provided C2C which can be found below in the document section entitled "INTO letter on full fee prepayment"
HOW TO APPLY
To submit an application you must be registered on the INTO application portal. Please contact Luke to request you are registered.

KEY INFORMATION POINTS ABOUT INTO AND APPLICATION PROCEDURES
- Gap years must be fully explained in the CV. The CV must detail the start and end month and year of any study or work periods. If gaps are not explained the application will not be processed. All periods of work experience should be supported with a reference letter/work certificate on letterhead mentioning dates and months of employment.
- Married students can apply to INTO as long as the course they are applying for is “level 7” to comply with UKVI guidelines for issuing a VISA i.e. it must be pre-masters or graduate diploma level.
- HND applicants may be considered for graduate diploma at INTO Stirling
- Passport face page MUST be included with any application.
- 3rd class degree holders will be considered for premasters
- Some applicants will have credibility interviews with INTO staff, depends on nationality.
- There are INTO scholarships which may be given to students with academic merit or financial need i.e. if they get a scholarship they might choose INTO over Navitas or Kaplan etc. These are not advertised but you can approach Matthew or Luke with a request for scholarship consideration. University scholarships will be mentioned in any offer letter.
- Consolidated CAS may be provided if the student is doing a course that progresses onto a partner institution. If it does not then the student would need to apply for a new CAS from the University that has given them admission. Please see attached flyer.
- Students who attend the “International Medical Foundation” with INTO London will be guaranteed a medical interview with the medical school of the “University of Central Lancashire”
- Know your student - INTO do not like receiving applications from sub agents.
- Students can defer
- INTO Newton offers 2 year A Level courses which have achieved exceptionally high results for students: A and A* for most students. It is expensive! Ideal for students aiming for medicine or Oxford or Cambridge.
- Matthew happy to recommend a course if you are not sure what is suitable for your student. Just email him their CV and what the student would like to do.
STUDENTS WITH VISA REFUSALS
All applicants must declare their immigration history. If there are visa refusals to any country then some but not all INTO partners will not issue an offer. This varies from university to university. Please contact Matthew if you have a student who has visa refusals before applying to take his guidance on which universities might still consider them .
QUALIFICATIONS THAT MIGHT NOT BE ACCEPTED BY EVERY INTO PARTNER
If your student has non standard qualifications then you should contact Matthew for guidance on whether they will be considered BEFORE submitting an application. Examples of qualifications that might not be considered are:
- Vocational courses after year 10 of schooling
- Distance learning degrees
- Diplomas
DIRECT APPLICATIONS TO MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY
Applications to courses offered at MMU can be submitted through INTO from any nationality and 10% commission will be received.
This is better than any commission % from other 3rd parties so I have updated the C2C Global commission sheet on the database (copy also attached to this email)
Applications to Stirling from any nationality can also be made BUT PLEASE CHECK WITH ME BEFORE YOU DO THIS. I am still hoping to persuade Stirling to give us a global contract because they offer 20% commission to direct agents so double what INTO would offer.
DIRECT APPLICANTS
Please read the direct applicant guide that you will find in the uploaded document section. They may be considered but there are time deadlines that need to be followed such as within 15 days for the application being submitted.
