If you are an offer holder and are starting a new course, your CAS will be issued by your Admissions service.

Student Immigration cannot expedite any CAS request unless you are already in the UK and your current UK visa is expiring imminently.

Your Admissions Team will only issue a CAS once you have:

• met your offer conditions
• received an email inviting you to check your personal details for a CAS
• submitted an online CAS request confirming the details in your CAS Template

Not sure how to complete the 'intended date to travel to the UK' field on your CAS request form? See section 8 below.

If you have used the 'ACL code' when applying for your Student visa, your BRP will be sent to the University. When your BRP card arrives and BRP collection appointments are open, you will receive an email to invite you to book an appointment to collect it.

If you are in a position to collect your BRP, you will need to book an appointment via the Welcome timetable (booking is now open). If you will collect your BRP on or after 5 October 2022, you will need to book an appointment via MyAdvantage (booking opens on 28 September 2022).

Don't worry, our email will provide you with detailed information regarding when and how to book an appointment to collect it.

If you have not used the 'ACL code' then you are expected to collect your BRP from the post office. You will then need to upload a copy of that via the Enrolment Dashboard.

More information can be found on our BRP webpageLink opens in a new window.

Your CAS includes a ‘latest start date’, which is the deadline for you to arrive in the UK if you are currently overseas.

By the ‘latest start date’ on your CAS, you need to have:

• Received your visa, and
• Completed course registration online, and
• Physically arrived in the UK, and
• Uploaded all of the required immigration documents in order to be fully enrolled.

Please note: All students are expected to arrive by the official course start date stated in their admissions offer.

If you will arrive between your course start date (or 3 October 2022 for undergraduate students) and ‘latest start date’, please let your academic department know (you can find their contact details on your offer letter or on university website). In line with UKVI guidance, remote study is not possible so you must be physically present on campus to begin your studies.

If you are unable to arrive in the UK by the ‘latest start date’ in your CAS, please contact your academic department and outline any mitigating circumstances (with evidence if possible) so that your academic department may assess and decide whether they are able to support an extension of your arrival deadline.

If your request is approved, your CAS will be updated with the new arrival deadline and you will receive an email confirmation.

If your request is declined, your academic department will discuss your options with you, which may include deferring your place or re-applying.

Our Admissions team are working hard to process CAS requests, and it can take up to 10 working days to issue your CAS from the time you confirm the details of the DRAFT CAS.

If you are applying for a visa from overseas then you can make an application as soon as you get a CAS or the earlierst would be 6 months before the course start date on your CAS (do not apply before 6 months of the start date).

We would recommend that you apply for your Student visa in good time once you have received your CAS, to ensure you arrive in the UK by the 'latest start date' as stated on your CAS/Offer Letter.

Please refer to our detailed guidance provided on the links below.

You can also download an ‘application form guidance’ which provide screen-by-screen help text on how to complete your visa application form:

If your course is longer than 6 months, then the UKVI will issue a 90-day vignette (a visa sticker on your passport) and a 'decision letter' which tells you the whole length of your visa and when/where to collect your BRP (Biometric Residence Permit).

If the 'decision letter' does not tell you where to collect your BRP, you will need to check your visa application form to see which address you have provided and whether you have entered the ACL BRP code.

Therefore, there is nothing to worry - your 90-day visa is purely for you to travel to the UK during this period.

You should, however, check your 90-day visa, the decision letter and your BRP card (when you receive it) carefully to ensure it doesn't contain any errors - more information can be found on our website - checking for errorsLink opens in a new window.

If you are coming to the University of Warwick to study a full time undergraduate degree, postgraduate degree or PGCE with a Student visa, you intend to study at least 12 months in the UK (short holiday and delayed arrival within your 'latest start date' are permitted), then it is most likely that you will be eligible for the Graduate Route visa when you successfully complete your course.

If you are coming to study a Foundation course, an English language course, a part time or distance learning course, or a Certificate / Diploma / Postgraduate Certificate / Postgraduate Diploma course, then you will not be eligible.
