Guidance

Filling out the template

  • Edinburgh Global should provide one initial Excel template with all the required information for the student record.
  • If you have blank fields on the template please provide the reason in the notes field.
  • Recording Study Away has a high impact on student fees. The sooner the information is provided to us, the sooner the record can be updated and fees amended.
  • Please note this template is our preferred format to receive bulk study away data.
  • You will be notified once the information is on the students’ records.

Amendments to information already provided

  • Amendments to any information already provided must be submitted on a new Excel template. Any amendment Excel templates must only include the students affected.
  • If a student returns to Edinburgh we must be notified, including the dates of when the student returned, and any courses to be removed. Please submit this as you would with any other amendment.
  • If a student cancels or does not go abroad please notify us with the details.
  • If a student withdraws from their programme of study the school should be notified directly.
  • If the student changes programme and is no longer studying away please submit the amendment Excel template and include in the additional information field “This student is no longer study away".
