  DIRECT APPLICANTS

  We have streamlined the process around tagging students to agents post-application. Agents should adhere to the process as follows: 

  • Students should send an agent appointment email to international@gcu.ac.ukand admissions@gcu.ac.uk confirming they wish to use the agent services
  • GCU will acknowledge this email and until a reply is received confirming your agency has been tagged you will not receive updates on the student and will not be able to claim commission should they enrol. 

   

  AGENT SWITCHING

  GCU do not accept agent switching.
