Meet the conditions of your offer
A Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number is an electronic document the University will send you to support your Student visa application. A new CAS number is required for every new application you make.
For us to send you a CAS number, you need to meet the conditions of your offer and the criteria set out in our CAS policy.
The conditions of your offer normally ask you to pass an academic qualification and provide evidence of your English language ability. We need to confirm to UKVI what we have based your offer on when we produce your CAS number.
If you need more time on your course
You will need a new CAS number if you need more time on your course and your course has a formal attendance requirement. If the course does not formally record or require your attendance, we may not be able to assign a new CAS. You should review our CAS policy for further information.
If you are changing courses
If you are transferring courses and need more time in the UK as a result or your new course sits within a different subject area, you must apply for your new visa before transferring courses. This application must be made from your home country.
