Hi everyone,
I was about to confirm my place after getting accepted to a graduate program, when the admissions office notified me the uni is not currently issuing CAS due to the uncertainty about courses in September. Without the CAS I can't apply for my student visa, etc. This is all rather a surprise, as there was no indication anywhere on uni websites that they would not be supporting students' visas this year. I understand the lockdown may still be in place in some form in the fall, but assumed it would just be for a couple of months, and people could do distance learning until face-to-face instruction begins.
Anyway, has anybody heard similar information from their unis, that they are not issuing any CAS? I don't know if this is government policy or if I should just apply to a different programme somewhere else.
