During your study

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, and if you need to take a break from your studies, apply for an authorised absence by completing the Authorised Absence Request Form and awaiting approval from the Immigration Team in the International Office. The Immigration & Compliance Team will assess authorised absences in accordance with the University’s attendance monitoring procedures (for both taught and research students). 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 or share code if:

1. you obtain a new passport.
2. you change your visa or 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.
