CAS

Hello to all international fellas!
I am starting UAL foundation this September and i still haven't received CAS number, which is required for my visa. Obtaining a visa in my country is a long process and I am anxious of not getting it on time. Everyone I know in other unis have already received their CAS and are ready to apply for student visa, but UAL seems much more disorganised. Anyone in the same boat?

Contact the uni asap and let them know.

I am an unconditional offer holder, and my course starts on 2nd October. I still didn't receive a CAS number. They are pretty distracted by their graduation ceremony this week, so we must wait until Thursday, 20th July, when UAL Portal finishes its maintenance. (This is my guess)

Isn't CAS given only when your results are out? So you'd wait until results day if your offer is conditional isn't it?

In the same boat--I'm starting my BA program in September and am getting so anxious by the lack of communication from UAL. I have been contacting my country representative, admissions, and funding about various issues, including getting my CAS, for over 5 weeks now, and have not received any responses (apart from one generic funding response that I eventually found in my spam folder) whatsoever. I just get repeated "we're working on your request" emails and am feeling so disheartened. My offer is still "conditional" despite my supporting documents being uploaded April 14th, and my deposit being paid early May. During the international offer holder seminar two Fridays ago they said NOT to contact them about CAS and that they're just behind and working on confirming everyone in order, which made me feel better temporarily, but given it's been another 10 days and my supporting documents have been uploaded to portal for over three months, I don't know how true this is

Update for anyone else still waiting or who may see this in future years: as of today, 28th July, my portal has been updated to say my qualification documents are accepted and my status is "pending UCAS update"! I feel like this means the CAS will follow shortly.

hi! i'm also currently waiting for my CAS number, and the status of my qualification documents in my portal hasn't been updated yet, so i wanted to know if you already received your CAS and, if so, how long did it take?

Hi, I hope you don't mind me asking. When you state qualifying documents were accepted, was this a specific status in the portal or was this when your offer changed to unconditional? Thank you.

Thanks so much. if you don't mind me asking another question, when does your course date start please? Thank you so much again. Good luck with your studies and welcome for the new term. It's great that you have your CAS. I hope the rest goes smoothly.

i don’t mind! the documents were “accepted” on the portal on the 28th (the status updated next to the file name) and my offer became unconditional the next day (on Saturday oddly enough, the 29th). Then I got my CAS on the 4th.
