Important Visa Information for non-EU/EEA Nationals

Due to changes in the UKBA sponsorship management system, as of 1 February 2010, students will no longer be issued a visa letter in support of their student visa application. Instead, Regent’s College will be assigning a CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies). The CAS is a unique reference number that students will use to apply for permission to study in the UK as a Tier 4 (General) student.

Beginning 1 February 2010, students will automatically be assigned a CAS reference number by Regent’s College when the following two criteria have been met:

• The student has been given an unconditional offer, and
• The student has paid his/her registration fee and deposit towards tuition fees (£1050 in total)

Students will be personally notified by Regent’s College once their CAS has been assigned, and will be given the number to use as part of their visa application.

Any student who applies for a Tier 4 (General) student visa after 1 February 2010 must do so using a CAS. All paper visa letters become invalid after this date. If you have been issued a visa letter prior to February, please ensure you apply for your visa no later than 31 January 2010.

A CAS will be valid for six months from the date assigned. If a student does not use it within this period to apply for the Tier 4 (General) student visa, it will automatically become invalid.

Please visit the UKBA website for more information on these changes.
