Student Visa Holders: Registration Events
It is a UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) requirement that all Student Visa holders provide a copy of their passport and visa details to the University at the start of their programme.
Students must upload their documents to e:Vision and then attend a registration event, so the University can verify the documentation. Failure to do so could result in the student being withdrawn from their studies and their Student Visa being cancelled.
The next Registration event will take place in Market Square near Nisa on:
- Tuesday 19 November between 10am and 4pm.
- You do not need to make an appointment.
- There will be signage outside of the building you need to visit on the day.
