Requesting your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS)
An important document required to apply for your visa is your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from Hartpury, as the sponsor of your visa to enter the UK. Every time you apply for a visa for the UK you will need a new CAS. This is the same if it is your first time in the UK or if you are an existing student applying for a new visa to study a further course at Hartpury.
Please note, a CAS can only be issued a maximum of six months before your course start date.
A CAS includes information on the course you have been accepted onto including level of study and length of programme, costs of your first year tuition and accommodation fees and details of the documents we used to offer you a place. It also contains a CAS number which will be unique to you, and it is this number which you will use when you submit your visa application.
It is important that you check the information on your CAS when you receive it, as you will need to ensure that this matches the information you provide when you submit your visa application. Any documents mentioned in the ‘Evidence used to obtain offer’ section will also need to be provided with your application.
