| 3. Visit to college and interview |
• The application is acknowledged and the applicant and his/her family are invited to visit St. Clare's.
• This visit would consist of a tour of the College, a meeting with the Principal and an informal interview with the Vice-Principal.

• It is possible to visit the college on one of our Open Days. Check the dates. |
| 4. References and offer |

• The applicant's place is confirmed once the Admissions Registrar has received written confirmation that the applicant wishes to accept the place and once the Enrolment Deposit (£2500) has been received.
• At this point, college accommodation would be allocated to the applicant should they wish to attend St. Clare's as a residential student.
• A Study Certificate confirming the applicant's place would be sent to the applicant so that the applicant has official confirmation of his/her place. This may be useful should the applicant need to apply for a Student Visa. |

• Joining instructions are issued to all students who are expected to join St. Clare's during the summer prior to the start of their course. These instructions will also contain information about orientation activities.
