You must, however, confirm on your application form that you meet the requirements set out in this section and that you hold documentary evidence in the manner required. We will sometimes ask a “low risk” student to send us these documents and we reserve the right to request any or all the evidential documents from this section from you.

If your Tier 4 sponsor has included details of money paid to them on your CAS, no further documents are needed to show that this money has been paid. If you do not know if your Tier 4 sponsor has included this information you will need to check this with your Tier

4 sponsor. Any money for fees and maintenance that are not shown on your CAS must be shown in a different manner by you.

on your CAS, you must send anoriginal paper receipt issued by your UK Tier 4 sponsor
