What are the legal implications of having a CAS number?
Once you have been allocated a CAS number, the University is required to report you to the Home Office if you break the terms and conditions of your visa. This requirement applies to all universities, not just the University of Sheffield. You can ensure that you comply with the terms and conditions of your student visa by doing the following: • Enrol for every year of your studies. If you are unable to enrol, you must inform the University so that we know where you are. • Keep good attendance at all teaching sessions. If you are in the UK on a student visa you must study full time. • Do not take a break from your studies unless this is absolutely necessary • Do not work more hours than permitted during term time. You can work full time during the vacation periods.
