I have a question about the immigration/visa process...

When will I need to provide my immigration documents?

When you start your programme, you will need to present your passport and visa at registration.  Please see the International Student Registration page for further details. 

If your change your passport or visa during your studies, you must present your documents to the Student Records Counter, Rutland Building, or Student Services desk, London campus, within five working days of receipt.  If you are returning from overseas, for example after a Leave of Absence, you must show your new visa before you can recommence your studies.  Further details can be found in the Student Handbook.
