I need to re-sit the year, what does this mean for my visa?

 

In Attendance: If you have been advised to re-sit a year of study "in attendance", you will be expected to re-register or repeat the whole year of study. You will need to extend your visa for another year to be able to complete your course. This needs to be done before your visa expires. UKCISA has guidance on the Home Office time limits about how long you can spend studying in the UK.

Without Attendance: If you are required to be registered as an external re-sit student you will re-sit from your home country. This will be reported to the Home Office, your student visa will be withdrawn, and your visa will be cancelled. 

If you successfully pass all re-sit examinations and have been approved for return to studies in Aberystwyth you will need to apply for a new CAS via the International Student Advisor who will also advise you on applying for a new student visa.

When you need to return to the University, you will need to apply for a new visa with a new CAS.
