6. Once the applicant acts on the CAL and sends us the proof of payment, we’ll then send the proof of payment to the University for verification and confirmation

8. The applicant will then have to apply for a transit Visa together with their AL to their nearest Turkish Consulate or Embassy

10. The applicant would then share with us their arrival date & time to Ercan Airport in order for us to inform the University to arrange airport pick up transport
11. The applicant would then register for the semester and upon successful completion, the applicant may begin the process of applying for their student permit

CAL is the abbreviation for the Conditional Acceptance Letter which is the first admission letter an applicant receives. The content of the admission letter contains certain conditions the applicant must perform before being fully accepted by the University. With this letter, the student is only temporarily accepted. This letter is also known as a conditional offer.

AL is the abbreviation for the Acceptance Letter which is the official acceptance admission letter an applicant receives when the applicant completes the conditions stated on the CAL. Once this letter is issued, the student can use this official admission letter to apply for a transit Visa.

Depending on the application volume, type of faculty or school being applied to and the verification process of the applicant's documents by the University, it may take less than 10 working days. It's also important that the applicant must submit all required documents that have no errors to avoid delays.

As soon as the initial payment fee has been confirmed by the university, the AL will be issued.

We will send you a rejection email or the university may offer you an alternative foundation program that is based on the program you initially applied for should you fail to meet the academic requirements.

No, we do not. All tuition fee payments are paid by the applicant directly to the University. All account and tuition fee details of the University will be stated on the Conditional Acceptance Letter and Acceptance Letter. We only handle the admission application process which is free of charge.

Most Universities do not offer refund policies. Since Yetu Tertiary Link (YTL) is not responsible for processing any payments to the University, be sure that you’ve fully decided to study abroad before performing any payment as all payments are handled by the Universities and not YTL.
