International students who have completed all assessments for their course are entitled to work full time as long as they have a valid visa. In order to receive a final assessment  submission confirmation document showing that you have completed your studies, you must first sign a form declaring that you understand and accept your responsibilities with regard to travelling or working after you have completed your course. These responsibilities include returning to complete referrals if you fail assessments and reverting to working part-time work if this happens.

The form is attached to this FAQ and you will only be issued with your document once you have returned a completed and signed form.

If you are an Undergraduate student requesting a final assessment  submission confirmation document , we can issue this after the term ends and once you have signed the above mentioned form. You are not considered to have finished until term ends.

If you are a Postgraduate student requesting a final assessment  submission confirmation document, in addition to completing the form as mentioned above, you will need to provide a Digital Receipt from Turnitin, confirming that you have submitted your final project. 

If your final piece of work is an exam that takes place during a main exam period, then the Student Information Desk will only issue the document once the exam period is over. If your final piece of work is a presentation or viva, then the Student Information Desk will only issue the document once the dates of all vivas or presentations has passed. Please obtain written confirmation from your tutor that this presentation/viva is complete.

Please note that we will accept Turnitin receipts as evidence of submission and completed documents can only be issued once the original submission hand-in date has passed.
