CAS stands for Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies and is required to apply for a Tier 4 student visa. It is an electronic document which is sent to successful applicants once they have met all conditions of their offer (if applicable) and:
Undergraduate students - you have formally accepted your unconditional offer with us.
Masters students - you have formally accepted your unconditional offer and paid your International Deposit.
Research students - you have formally accepted your unconditional offer and paid your International Deposit.
Study Abroad students - please see here
Once we have processed your request for a CAS we will email you a CAS preview to check. All the information contained in the CAS is extremely important, so you must check it is all correct and up to date. Incorrect information could lead to your application being refused so it is essential that you check the CAS preview carefully.
After you have confirmed that your CAS preview information it is correct your CAS will be generated and your details will be automatically sent to the UK Border Agency. You will then receive your CAS statement in an email to the correspondence address that you have supplied to us; we do not send this to you in the post. The statement will contain your unique CAS number which you will be asked to provide to the UKBA (See a sample of a CAS letter).
Please note that the student visa you receive will be valid for UEA only and cannot be used for any other institution. If you decide to leave UEA and change institutions, you will require a new CAS from your new institution to apply for a new visa.
