It is a UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requirement that all Student Visa holders provide a copy of their passport and visa details to the University at the start of their programme.
Students must upload their documents to e:Vision and then attend a Registration Event so the University can verify the documentation. Failure to do so by the deadline given could result in the student being withdrawn from their studies and their Student Visa being cancelled.
The Registration events will take place on weekdays on the ground floor of Grimston House between Monday 18 September and Monday 23 October, between 10am and 4.30pm.
You can book your appointment online through eventbrite. For the safety of both students and staff please ensure you make an appointment before you attend the event. If you do not have an appointment, you will not be able to get your documents verified.
By making an appointment you'll help us keep queues to a minimum and reduce the time your appointment takes. If you have uploaded all required documents ahead of your appointment, verification of your documents will take no more than 10 minutes.
