Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number

Once you have accepted and met the conditions of your offer of a study place, we will contact you to issue you a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) number. This replaces the previous system using Visa Letters. You will need to use this CAS number in your application for a study visa to come to Sheffield.

Extending your visa

The University's International Student Services office and the Union of Students' Advice Centre can offer information and advice, to you and any dependants, on extending your visa once you are in the UK.

Visit the International Student Services web site for further information about extending your visa and other immigration questions
