THE CONFIRMATION OF ACCEPTANCE FOR STUDIES

 

What is a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies?

 

 

33. The Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) is not an actual certificate or paper document but is a virtual document similar to a database record. Each CAS has a unique reference number and contains information about the course of study for which it has been issued and the student’s personal details. The information that the sponsor will include in

a CAS can be found on our Home Office pages

 

 

34. We will not provide you with your CAS reference number as it is your Tier 4 sponsor’s

responsibility to do so.

 

35. Your Tier 4 sponsor will also need you to provide you with some of the information they used when they assigned the CAS to you, for example your course details, the documents they used to assess you and any fees due for the appropriate period of study. You will need this information to accurately complete your application and to make sure that you know which documents to submit to us when you apply.

 

36. You cannot make your Tier 4 application more than three months before the start of your course.

 

 

When is a CAS valid?

 

37. A valid CAS is one that:

 

 

Tier 4 Policy Guidance version 11/2014 page 6 of 81


• has the same details on it as in your passport; and

 

• was assigned no more than six months before the date of your application; and

 

• has not been withdrawn or cancelled by your Tier 4 sponsor or us.

 

 

The Immigration Rules and Tier 4 Sponsor Guidance contain full details of the information a

CAS must contain in order to be valid.

 

38. Your CAS will expire if it is not used for a leave application within six months of it being issued. If you make an application using a CAS that has expired, your application will be refused. You must ensure that your CAS is valid when your application is submitted - you can check this with your Tier 4 sponsor.

 

39. A CAS cannot be used more than once. If your Tier 4 application is refused, and you wish to make another application, you will need to get a new CAS from your sponsor.

 

40. Having a valid CAS does not guarantee that your application will be successful. You must meet all of the requirements of the category and any other requirements of the Immigration Rules.

 

41. Your CAS can be withdrawn or cancelled at any time by either us or by your Tier 4 sponsor.

Where your CAS has been withdrawn or cancelled, the same procedures apply as where a CAS becomes invalid. These procedures are explained in more detail in Annex 2 of this document.
