Once the EduVisa/Arden Admissions Section has received the completed application form and supporting documents, our admissions team will review the application as quickly as possible. This usually takes 48 - 72 hours but may take a little longer if extra information is required and will entail the following aspects:

• Assessment of previous curriculum components completed for UK-Ofqual and university regulatory requirement purposes.
• Profiling of the student's suitability to be accommodated on the relevant Bachelor/master’s Programme, following liaison with the previous training institution relevant to RPL Policies.
• Evaluating the student's linguistic suitability relevant to the English language requirements for Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree Programmes.
• This will be used to compile a Student Portfolio of Recommendation for intra-university purposes.

Following registration and uploading of the Student Portfolio of Recommendation on the Document System the applicant will be upgraded to the Student Lounge (Orientation Portal) which will serve as the “onboarding platform” in which the applicant will be familiarised with the Online Learner Management Systems (EduVisaLMS, iLearn, ArdenLMS).

More specifically, the Student Lounge (Orientation/Induction Portal) will provide the applicant with access to the following:

• An invitation to discuss the payment options with a financial advisor.
• Consultation with an academic advisor to clarify the way forward.
• Advice on how to prepare for your studies.
• Learning techniques to make a success of your studies.
• The Latest Campus News and upcoming events.

Upon completion of the internal processing of the application a Letter of Offer (per email) will be issued to the successful applicant which will include information and detailed instructions to proceed with the registration process:

• Confirmation of preliminary student registration and allocation of your unique Arden University student number to be used for communication and payment purposes.

• Enrolment/activation on the programme will be confirmed as soon as the referred to fee has been paid, and the associated payment agreement has been signed.

• The duration of studies as well as the final date of graduation may be influenced by the progress of the student, the response time of external examiners, final approval/non-approval of the examiner reports and whether it aligns with a specific graduation date as scheduled by the university.

• Please note that the new student must complete the prescribed Milestone (Induction) Tasks post enrolment/pre-first week of teaching to ensure that he/she is not automatically withdrawn from the programme.
