After CAS assigned and Student visa refused
Refusals on the grounds of credibility will only be eligible for a deposit refund if the refusal is subsequently overturned as incorrect through a successful UKVI Administrative Review. The International Student Advice and Support team will be able to advise a student on submitting an Administrative Review if it appears that the refusal is incorrect. In exceptional cases where an Administrative Review is unsuccessful, deposit refunds will be considered on a case-by-case basis following a review by the International Student Advice and Support team and Visa Compliance team. Student must provide clear and complete copy of the UKVI Refusal Notice which can be considered on the advice of 童颜视频 immigration advisers and 童颜视频 Visa Compliance team. Any refund will be subject to a £1,500 fee to cover the university’s administration and processing costs.
Applicants are required to contact the International Student Advice and Support team if they are called for a credibility interview as part of the visa application process and the team will advise the applicant on whether they should pursue the application.
Where an applicant has deferred their offer to the next intake for the course and they qualify for a refund for one of the reasons above, their refund will be retained for the purpose of the deferred admission rather than refunded before the applicant will need to pay the deposit again.
