Harassment

Roles and responsibilities

It is the duty of all individuals and groups associated with LSA to avoid discriminatory practices themselves to condone and discourage discriminatory practices from others.

LSA will encourage those who wish to report instances of discrimination and provide a confidential process by which all discriminatory matters can be dealt with by means of the formal Grievance Procedures.

Notice Board

Notice to all of our existing and recently completed students at LSA.

Last date to get registered with our HTS partner is 15/10/2012

Dear LSA Students

We have some very good news for you. . An established Highly Trusted Sponsor College (HTS) has fortunately agreed to take on our students. This is good news for you because:

1. You will apply to extend your stay to study further

2. You will not lose your current visa status

3. You will not have an interruption to your courses and academic success.

There are greater benefits to you of LSA’s restructuring and being under the sponsorship of the HTS College, for all serious students.

TO FIND OUT MORE, please attend our open day on Monday 15th October 2012 between 10 am 4 pm or at 10 a.m on Tuesday 16th October 2012 at Learning & Skills Academy Luton.

There will be a presentation from our HTS partners and a chance to get to know them and ask questions. We will spell out your options and the procedures at the presentations. However, please note that it is an urgent matter and the HTS College will only accept LSA students within perhaps a time frame of seven days.

Please be aware that students that do not meet the HTS and LSA’s compliancy conditions and do not sign up within the time given will have no choice but to:

1. Make a new Tier 4 application to another less reputable college, for a visa Extension.

2. Have maintenance funds in their bank account for 28 days of (£1,200) and new college fees +.

We hope you can see this as a better option to be with our partner HTS College than to have to go through with any less reputable college. So it is in your interests to attend this session organised for our serious students.

We look forward to seeing you at the presentation next week.

EASTER HOLIDAYS

College is closed for Easter Break from 02/04/2012 until 07/05/2012.

During holidays if you have any queries or concerns, please email us on info@lsa-uk.org and we will endevour to reply as soon as we can.
