***Academic Standing***

1. In order to remain in good academic standing, candidates must pass…

…at least 80% of their assignments from the study phase.

…at least 1 of the 4 units (i.e., the Trinity assessments) within 2 years of starting the course.

…all 4 units (i.e., the Trinity assessments) within 3 years of starting the course.

2. If these conditions are not met, the candidate will be considered to have withdrawn from the course. Exceptions may be made at our discretion if sufficient evidence is provided of an extenuating circumstance.

3. Candidates must complete the study phase in good academic standing before they can register for the Trinity assessments. We reserve the right to defer putting candidates forward for their Trinity assessments if we feel they are not ready.


***Plagiarism***

1. Trinity defines plagiarism as “the excessive copying by candidates of other people’s ideas and/or words in the production of written and practical work, and misrepresentation of it as their own; this must go beyond the normal sharing of common ideas” (DipTESOL Validation Requirements, p.104).

2. If a candidate is found to have plagiarised, for the first infraction, the candidate will receive a grade of zero (0) for the assignment in question. Repeated offences will result in expulsion from the course, with no refund given.


***Visas***

1. If you would like to do your teaching practice in Barcelona, Cádiz, or Hong Kong, it is your responsibility to check if you need a visa for your preferred location. If you are required to apply for a visa, you will need to make an appointment at least two months in advance of travel to ensure that your visa is received in time.

2. If you require a Schengen visa for Spain, you will need to submit your application to BLS International. For other locations, please contact us for more information.

3. If you need a letter of enrolment to present with your visa application, we can send you a PDF letter via email free of charge.


***Trinity Exam Fees and Extra Support***

2. Exam fees are due at the time of registration (2 months before your assessment takes place).

3. Trinity reserves the right to change fees without further notification. The current fees are listed on this page: https://oxfordtefl.com/terms-conditions/terms-dip/#fees

4. If a candidate cancels their Trinity assessment(s) after the registration deadline, he/she will be marked absent and will have to pay the full Trinity fees for that exam again.
