Right to Study and Welcome Support
All full time, non-British/non-Irish students, will need to attend an in-person right to study check event on arrival at the University of Warwick to complete enrolment for your course. You will receive information on how to book an appointment for the event after you have completed Course Registration (online). Please make sure you have booked an appointment before coming to the event.
Please note, you cannot take part in any study until you have completed both Course Registration (online) and cleared the in-person checks. Once all cleared, you will be sent an email with confirmation that you are now fully enrolled on your course and at the same time your enrolment status will be updated to "Fully Enrolled".
If you are due to receive an SLC maintenance loan from Student Finance England, or are due to receive a stipend, you will need to have attended your right to study check appointment before funds will be released to you, so please book your appointment as early as available.
e-Visas
The UK Home Office is changing the way in which non-UK/Irish nationals prove their immigration status in the UK. The new system will gradually replace physical documents (such as BRPs and visa in passports) with a new digital status known as ‘e-Visa’.
Any student with a BRP expiring on 31 December 2024 can now create a UKVI account and access their eVisa. It is completely free, and most people can apply with a smart phone. Watch this 2-minute video for further information.
Once your eVisa has been created please use the View and Prove service to generate a share code and complete the Upload form. The team will update your record.
Replacement BRP's and ceasing of BRP's
Please note, the Home Office will stop issuing new BRP cards on 31st October 2024. The BRP replacement service will close from 26th September 2024, given that customers applying to that service, which has a service level agreement of 6 weeks, would be unlikely to receive their BRP.
If you require any further support and advice about the eVisa, please contact us.
