(Many of our foreign students struggle to get their visa in time and end up arriving later for the start of lectures.) See below for study permit requirements.<\/p>\n<p>In adherence to South African Government rules and regulations, your final registration is subject to producing a valid study permit that can be applied for at the nearest South African representative, normally in your home country. For this purpose you will use the official visa letter issued by the Registrar. This letter must be presented to a South African diplomatic mission abroad, which has the authority to process applications for study permits. The South African Department of Home Affairs and South African diplomatic offices abroad are responsible for the regulations and procedures. Do not proceed to Cornerstone Institute without the study permit\/visa.<\/p>\n<p>Should you require financial aid, application needs to made by the end of September. The earlier it is submitted the better chance you have of being successful. Financial aid cannot be guaranteed and will not be more than 40% of the annual tuition fee. Cornerstone Institute does not receive a government subsidy for providing tertiary education, so bursaries are very limited.<\/p>\n<p>Should you require accommodation please contact the student services officer Beverley Dankers at <a href=\"mailto:beverleyd@cornerstone.ac.za\">beverleyd@cornerstone.ac.za<\/a>. Cornerstone does not offer student accommodation.<\/p>\n<h3>Study Permit Requirements<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Letter of Admission from Cornerstone Institute.<\/li>\n<li>Proof that sufficient funds are available for the proposed stay in South Africa to cover tuition fees, maintenance and incidental costs.<\/li>\n<li>Details regarding arranged accommodation, which should be in Cape Town or surrounding areas. (The Embassy requires proof of residence, i.e. a formal letter with a lease agreement from the owner of the residence. Cornerstone cannot supply this.)<\/li>\n<li>A police clearance certificate.<\/li>\n<li>The expiry date of your study permit is very important. It is your own responsibility to apply for an extension 30 days before it expires.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Repatriation guarantee<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You should provide a medical certificate as provided for on the study permit application form and particulars of, or arrangements made with regard to, medical insurance\/cover in South Africa . You will also need to submit medical and radiological reports, which should be less than six months old and relevant certificates if you are married, widowed, divorced or separated.<\/li>\n<li>If the duration of your studies is longer than one year, you will have to lodge a cash deposit or bank guarantee equivalent to the airfare or transportation costs to your country of origin for repatriation purposes. Please keep the receipt issued for the guarantee for a possible extension of your study permit in South Africa . The cash deposit will only be reimbursed once you are back in your home country.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Immigration Matters<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Formal admission to Cornerstone Institute does not guarantee the issuing of a study permit.<\/li>\n<li>Students without valid study permits cannot be registered at Cornerstone Institute.<\/li>\n<li>Permit Applications should be made at least 30 days prior to the date of departure.<\/li>\n<li>All documents required when you apply for a study permit or visitor\u2019s visa, must be originals or certified copies.
