ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ

• Provide the ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ with a copy of your current passport and visa/Biometric Residence Permit. Every time you get a new passport or a visa you must provide copies to the ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ. Without this (or proof that our CAS has been used to apply for a visa) you will not be able to register on your programme.
• Register/re-register on your programme three times a year.
• Keep the ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ updated with your UK contact details (address, email, telephone number).  You will be able to do this via our student portal, Chiview.
• Keep the ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ updated if you decide to change your course, withdraw or suspend your studies via the appropriate ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ processes.
• Study whilst you are in the UK, ensuring that you meet the progression and attendance requirements for your course with no unauthorised absences.
• Ensure you do not breach the conditions of your visa:
  • Do not work more hours than you should. Students studying at degree level or above are allowed to work 20 h/week during term time and full time during vacations. Students studying at below degree level are allowed to work 10 h/ week during term time and full time during vacations.
  • Do not claim public funds. This means that you cannot claim certain welfare benefits and local authority housing.
• Report any to the Home Office. Changes you should report are as follows:
  • Changes to your personal details
  • Criminal convictions that you have not previously told the Home Office about
  • Changes in your contact details
  • Changes in your family members’ details, if they are in the UK as your dependants and
  • Any other information you think the Home Office should know,

The ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ also has specific duties in relation to students on Student Visas that they are required by law to fulfill:

• We are obliged to report to the Home Office any student who either does not enroll or who misses 10 expected contacts with tutors or in class.
• We also have to report any student who defers or leaves a course, or if we stop being the student’s sponsor. Full details are available from the International Advisory Service.

Therefore, it is important that students on Student Visas enroll promptly, attend classes on a regular basis and keep both the Ìý²¹²Ô»å the ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ informed of any changes.

For further information, please visit our website or visit the Ìý²¹²Ô»å websites.

If you have any questions regarding any of the above points you are welcome to contact Chichester International Advice at the ÀÏ˾»úÊÓƵ.
