Guildhall School - Before you Leave Home Handbook 2020

– if your qualifications were not
undertaken in the UK, arranging to have
your documents translated into English by
a certified translator
– if you are a non-UK student with a DBS
check condition, requesting a Certificate
of Good Character from the authorities in
your home country
If you have not met all of the conditions
of your offer by Enrolment, you will not be
able to fully enrol. For more information,
please see ‘What happens if I don’t have
everything?’ on page 44.
If you are unsure of the conditions of your
offer, please contact your Admissions
Coordinator. Their direct contact details are on
your offer letter, on eGo Applications and in
the Useful Contacts section of this handbook.
Can I get an unconditional offer letter?
It is strongly recommended that new
students wait until Enrolment in September
to bring their original qualification
certificates or transcripts for verification.
However, if you wish to obtain an
unconditional offer letter before this (and
you have met all other conditions of your
offer), you will need to provide certified
copies of your qualifications.
It is worth bearing in mind that most banks
and organisations will only accept proof of
enrolment letters when opening student
accounts. You will receive a confirmation of
enrolment letter once you have fully enrolled
so an unconditional offer letter might not
benefit you if you need it for this purpose. If
you have any questions, please contact Registry.
Even if you have an unconditional offer, you
will still need to complete an identification
process either online or if this is not possible,
in person.
