Receiving your Certificate of Acceptance of Studies (CAS)
Once payment has been received, the College will produce a CAS for you (a CAS is only applicable to students coming on a Tier 4
student visa). The following steps explain the process:
1: CAS produced by the College and sent to student (either directly or via overseas representative): The CAS will include:
Your name / Passport number / Your student number / you have been accepted onto the course / course details / the total tuition fees
/ the tuition fees for first year / the tuition fees paid / the qualifications used to accept you onto the course (original
certificates/transcripts must be submitted for visa application).
2: Student to check CAS and confirm details with College: You will be sent a copy of the CAS so that you can verify the details and
check that everything is correct before the College officially submit it to UK Border Agency. If you notice an error in your CAS you
MUST inform the College/ overseas representative immediately so that changes can be made.
3: College generate an official CAS and send to student: Once you have confirmed that the details on the CAS are correct your official
CAS number will be generated and you will be sent your official CAS statement. Once you have received this you be able to submit
your visa application.
Note: CAS can be used only once to apply for a Tier 4 visa. If your visa is refused you must send a copy of the refusal document to the
International Centre. If your visa is refused and you decide to re-apply, before we can issue a new CAS we will ask you to provide the
ISC with a copy of your bank statement which shows that you have held the required money for a consecutive 28 day period (finishing
on the date of the closing balance) ending no more than 1 month before your application. Please refer to the Tier 4 policy guidance
