    CAS for international students
    Anyone of you received your CAS yet? I was told it should be coming in the next couple of weeks, but the wait is killing me.

    The first CAS numbers started to come through around now last year, so it should be probably be with you within the two weeks the university mentioned.

    Is not CAS not issued until the offer turns unconditional? I thought I was going to wait until results day.

    I received my CAS at the beginning of May; I guess it depends on which program you've applied for.

    I accepted my unconditional offer for Law Graduate entry back in January and I am still waiting on my CAS. I am a Canadian student as well, but I do not know if country has any bearing on the time period. Nonetheless, I was told it should be coming shortly via Euclid.

    I'm still waiting on my CAS number too. I did the IB, had a conditional offer but found out my results yesterday and I met the offer. But Track hasn't updated yet...

    Will Track update when A-level results come out? I hope not, it gets too late to apply for a visa.

    No the University will not. Until you meet the requirements you will get CAS.

    Yeah, but then you won't get a student visa, which is the one you need if you're going to be studying there for the next 4 or 5 years.

    Hey guys, I got my CAS in my intray- but is this all I need for my visa? Do I just print out my intray message or do I need an official hard copy or something?

    My offer turned unconditional 4 working days after I sent them the results. Contact them and ask, I think it's taking too long...
    I still don't have my CAS number, though

    Singapore. I received it via Euclid.
    Singaporean here too. Got my acceptance letter a week ago via email, said CAS would be coming via email in a few days but it hasn't come. How do you access Euclid because I don't remember using it.

    Go to myed.ac.uk and login, and there'll be that 'Lauch EUCID' button. I'm waiting on CAS too, hope it doesn't take more than a few days? My offer just turned unconditional too. Like, right now.
