• If you are under 18 you must also upload a letter from your parents/guardians giving their permission for you to travel; and supply contact details of a UK-based parent/guardian.

You should also:

• Generate a sharecode. Visit the check immigration status with a sharecode web page for guidance. A correct Right to Study share code will start with an ‘S’.

Please ensure you bring the following documents:

We do not need to see a copy:

• CAS document
• IELTS/English language certificate

This is the named document that is on your CAS under ‘Evidence used’. Please bring the original document, photocopies are not accepted. If this document is not written in English, you will need to provide an official original English translation at your appointment, as well as the original document. Examples include ‘Bachelor Degree certificate’ or ‘Masters degree transcript’.

We do not need to see your IELTS or any other English language certificate.

If your academic qualification was only provided to you electronically we will need to be able to view this in a format that we can confirm has been issued by your previous institution. For example, by logging into their portal, a results portal or a document sent from your previous institution's official email address.

If you were provided with a physical original document we need to see that.

There may be a short wait for your appointment during busy times. If you have uploaded the required documents in advance your appointment should take less than ten minutes.

Please ensure that you attend the registration event with your passport and evidence that you have submitted your visa application. We do still need to see you even if your visa has not yet been issued. You will then need to return once you have been issued with your new Student Visa.
