The sponsors’ register was published on the UK Border Agency’s website  and includes the sponsor-rating. It is available at  <a href="http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/registerofsponsorseducation" target="_blank">http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/employersandsponsors/pointsbasedsystem/registerofsponsorseducation</a>. (PDF)New UK Border Agency regulations have significantly raised the standards  that education providers must meet before they can recruit  international students.  So far, over 400 colleges have lost their right to recruit international  students after they failed to sign up for the new inspection system.   As well as cutting abuse, the new standards would help ensure that  genuine international students receive the highest quality education. In addition, a targeted UK Border Agency investigation into more than  100 colleges has led to 51 institutions having their licences to recruit  international students revoked. The investigation followed a spike in  applications in South Asia just before the English language requirement  rules were tightened in April. More than 4,500 applications to study have been refused or withdrawn as a result.  One college advertised classes even though the website said it was shut  for maintenance, while another could not even produce a list of students  enrolled or a timetable of classes. On inspection, others could not produce any records of student attendance, or evidence of checking student qualifications. The UK Border Agency has also created a list of more than 2,000 banks  and financial institutions from which it will no longer accept evidence  to show that a student has sufficient funds to support themselves and  pay for their course. If a bank is on the list, a student providing supporting documentation from that institution will not be granted a visa. Further measures will be introduced in April 2012. The post study work  route will close and students wishing to stay and work in a graduate  level occupation would be able to apply under Tier 2 of the points based  system. Students would be able to study for a maximum of 5 years above degree  level (with some exceptions) and there will be restrictions on work  placements for non-university courses.DM</blockquote>
