- About Us
The ECCS scheme is operated by the UK Border Agency. The University is part of this scheme, which allows corrections on student visas granted in home countries where visas have been granted for the wrong length of time.
To find out if your Tier 4 student visa has been granted for the correct length of time please check if it matches one of these rules…
If your course duration is:
12 months or more – your visa should cover the full length of your course plus an additional 4 months
More that 6 months but less then 12 months – Your visa should cover the full length of your course plus an additional 2 months
Less than 6 months and it is NOT a Pre-sessional course – Your visa should cover the full length of the course plus an additional 7 days
Less than 6 months and it IS a Pre-sessional course – Your visa should cover the full length of your course plus an additional 1 month.
Was your current student visa granted at the start of your current course?
If yes, did you apply for your current student visa before March 2009?
If this applies to you the length of the visa you were granted should match one of the following rules…
If you think your visa is eligible for a correction please come and speak to one of the International Student Advisors.
We
recommend students check their visas as soon as possible as corrections
have to be approved by the UK Border Agency - there is no guarantee how
long this can take, from a few weeks to a few months.
It must be approved by them before your current visa expires. Otherwise you will have to pay for an extension.
