Confirming your details are correct

Confirming your details are correct - previously been granted a Student Visa

In order to attend a full-time course of study lasting over 6 months, if you do not already hold a different type of UK immigration permission that permits study, you will normally require a Student Visa sponsored by Warwick.

By completing this form you are confirming that:

You hold an Unconditional Offer (and have accepted it)
The personal information we hold for you is complete and correct.
You have previously been granted a UK Student visa, Tier 4 (General) Visa, or General Student Visa.

If you have a pending scholarship decision, please do not complete this form until a decision is confirmed.

This information will be used to create a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) to enable you to apply for a Student Visa.

Please note that you will normally be required to prove that you have the correct immigration permissions before you can start studying a course at The University of Warwick (this is known as the 'right to study' check), and you must complete enrolment (both online and in-person) and arrive in the UK before the latest course start date as stated on your CAS.

If you are not sure if you require a Student visa, or, if you require further advice on the Student visa application process, please visit the Student Visa Advice Service website for further guidance.

If you currently hold a Student visa (including Tier 4) that was issued using a CAS assigned to you by another institution, you cannot use this to enrol at the University of Warwick unless you are starting a recognised collaborative course. You must use the CAS from Warwick to apply for permission from the Home Office Visas & Immigration to study at Warwick. The ‘latest start date’ on your CAS indicates the last day that you should enrol online and arrive in the UK. You will receive more information on how to enrol nearer the course start date.

Please note if you currently hold a Student Visa or Tier 4 visa sponsored by Warwick relating to a course that you will complete before the start of the new course, you will need to obtain a new CAS and a new Student Visa before you will be permitted to enrol on the new course. There are certain exceptions if you are making your Student Visa application within the UK- please refer to the right to study webpage for further information.

If you are in a position to now confirm that you require a CAS and that the personal information we hold on you is correct and complete, please complete the form below.

Warwick ID number

Full name as it appears in your passport

Email address

Postgraduate course for which you hold an offer.

(If you hold more than one offer from Warwick, you should quote the course you are intending to join.)

Please provide the passport number for the passport you intend to use in your student visa application. If you intend to renew your passport because it is about to expire, please do not request your CAS until you have your new passport. Please include a copy of your passport in the Upload field at the bottom of this form.

Passport number

Nationality

Passport Expiry Date

Please provide the following information for the qualification and institution/university that you used to meet the conditions of your offer. e.g "Bachelor of Science from University of X". This must be awarded and the qualification used for admission to your Warwick course and will be stated on your CAS.

Title of your Qualification

Awarding Institution

Warwick delivers a Summer Pre-sessional English language course for students to take before they join their main course. Are you due to study (or currently studying) the Warwick Pre-sessional English Language course?

Have you been awarded a scholarship or bursary from the University of Warwick to support your studies?

Scholarship Amount

If you have applied for a scholarship or bursary from an external provider listed on the Warwick webpages we will require evidence before this information will be added to your CAS. If this is not provided, we will still issue your CAS but it will not contain scholarship details.

If you have applied for or received a scholarship or bursary, please provide the title and details of the provider in the box below and upload a scan of your scholarship award letter using the upload button at the bottom of this page. If your scholarship is from WMG and is stated in your Offer email, we do not need you to upload a scan.

Previous UK Student/Tier 4 visa history

Have you ever been refused a Student or Tier 4 visa for the UK?

If yes, please provide further information on the reasons your visa application was refused and upload scans of the refusal notice you received from the UK Home Office using the upload button at the bottom of this form.

(Please include all pages of the correspondence from the UK Visas and Immigration Service.)

During the application process you were asked to give details of your previous study to enable the Course Selector for your chosen programme to reach a decision about your suitability for the course. We are required to undertake certain additional checks in accordance with the Home Office UK Visas & Immigration policy. The first question below relates to your current or most recent UK Student Visa or Tier 4 (General) visa (regardless of whether you started, or completed the course it was granted for) for the UK for studies at any level.

Which Student Visa do I need to tell you about first?

Example Scenario 1: You completed your Bachelors degree at University X using a Student Visa and have not been granted any other Student Visa since: you need to tell us about your course and visa for University X.

Example Scenario 2: You completed your Bachelors degree at University Y using a Student Visa. You then made an application for University Z and received a Student Visa, but have not started this course (e.g. because you decided to start a degree at Warwick instead): you must tell us about the course and visa for University Z, even though you did not start the course

We need this information to assess if academic progression requirements are met, and the study limit requirement if your CAS is for Pre-sessional English course only. For further information on this please consult the Student Visa Advice Service's website.

Please answer the following questions to provide us with the required information. You can find previous study dates and course levels on the CAS from your previous institution(s). You may also use the dates from your previous BRP or digital status. We may contact you for further information.

Type of visa held

For the next two questions, it is important you enter the start and end date of your visa, not the start and end date of your course.

BRP or digital status Start Date

BRP End Date

Type of Qualification your last Student or Tier 4 (General) visa was granted for

Level of the course

You can find out what level your previous course was by checking your CAS from your previous institution or by visiting list-of-qualification-levels.

A Bachelor's degree is usually at RQF Level 6, Master's at level 7 and PhD at level 8.

If you are intending to apply for your next Student Visa from within the UK, please upload a scan of your current immigration permissions using the upload button (at the bottom of this form), e.g. your current BRP or a “share code” for your digital status. If you intend to submit your visa application in the UK, you should first check that you are eligible to do so. For more information, please refer to the Student Visa Advice Service website.

It will only be possible to issue a CAS to you to make an application from within the UK if all of the following are true (otherwise, your visa application would be rejected/refused by the UKVI):

Your current residential UK visa has not expired. This must not be a visit visa or permission granted outside of the immigration rules.
You successfully completed, or are “Highly Likely to Successfully Complete”, and your new course represents Academic Progress from, the course your previous Student Visa or Tier 4 (General) Visa was granted for.
There is no more than a 28-day gap between the expiry date of your current visa and the start date of your Warwick course.
Your CAS will be issued a maximum of 3 months before your course start date.

If you do not meet the above criteria, you must make your new Student Visa application from the country outside of the UK where you are living.

If you will submit your visa application outside of the UK, please give the country and location (city) of the visa application centre that you intend to submit your application. You can choose a different Visa Application Centre in your home country when you make your visa application if you need to. You can find a full list of visa application centres here. You must apply in the country you are living in.

If you are applying for your visa from outside of the UK, the approximate date you intend to travel to the UK:

Priority Service

Some visa application centres offer a priority (user pay) or super priority visa service to enable applicants to receive their visa more quickly. If you are requesting a CAS close to the start date of your course, WMG Admissions will assess whether there is sufficient time for you to still receive your visa and arrive at Warwick by your course latest start date. Please see our information on CAS issuing deadlines here. If there is insufficient time (4 weeks + 2 days) for you to receive your visa and travel to the UK using the Standard Service, we may only be able to issue CAS to you if you use the Priority or Super-Priority visa services. Please answer the following questions regarding the priority service

Yes, there is a priority (user pay) or super priority service available

No, there is no priority visa service available

I am not sure

Yes, I intend to use a priority visa service

Yes, I intend to use a super priority visa service

No, I intend to use standard visa application service
