Getting Your CAS
Most international students need a Student Route visa to study in the UK. To apply for this visa, you will need a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from our admissions team.
A CAS is a document that confirms you have been accepted to study at the University of Chichester. This is an essential element of your visa application.
You can only receive this document after you have:
- Accepted an unconditional offer from us
- Paid your deposit
- Completed your online CAS Request form (check here to read more about this)
- Passed your CAS eligibility interview (check here if you need it)
Not sure if you need a CAS Eligibility Interview?
Don’t worry! Our “How to book your CAS interview” section covers who needs to attend and how to book your interview slot. The interview is designed to assess if applicants are genuine students who are travelling to the UK for the sole purpose of study. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the Chichester International Advice Team.
We recommend that you give yourself as much time as possible to make sure you receive your visa in time to travel to the UK. You must arrive for the start of your induction week and not later.
You can email our admissions team if you have any questions about the CAS issuing process (admissions@chi.ac.uk).
