As a student visa holder, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct visa to study at the University of Huddersfield. To maintain your immigration status in the UK, you must always comply with the terms and conditions of your student visa.
Throughout your period of study at the University, you must:
- Comply with the University regulations for current students.
- Attend all classes. If you need to take a break, apply for authorised absence by completing the Authorised Absence Request Form through your course admin team and wait for approval from the Immigration & Compliance Team in the International Office. Your authorised absence request will be assessed in accordance with the University’s attendance monitoring procedures. Do not make any travel plans until you have received confirmation that your absence has been authorised.
- Ensure that you do not work more than 20 hours per week during term time.
- Regularly check your university email (Unimail).
- Keep your contact number and personal email on MyHud up to date.
- Re-enrol online for each subsequent year of your course.
Immediately inform the Immigration & Compliance Team and provide updated scans and/or a share code if:
- you obtain a new passport.
- you obtain a new student visa or change your immigration category.
Ensure that you do not remain in the UK beyond the expiry of your visa and comply with all other requirements of your Student visa.
