University is refusing to issue CAS number

Dear all,

I am an international student in the UK and i just finished my Masters degree (i am currently on Tier 4 visa and still in the UK) and i have applied for a different university to do my PhD. I recently got an offer from that university but they are refusing to issue me a CAS number because i only provided them with an official transcript of masters (showing that i have completed my course accompanied with a letter confirming my graduation) and they said that home office requires also the official degree certificate and the my transcript is not enough.

I have checked the UKVI Tier 4 policy and it states that i can submit either a degree certificate or a transcript (that confirms graduation).

I am really confused why the university is refusing to issue me a CAS. They said they can issue the CAS but under my own risk.....

Am i missing something here or the university is acting strangely?! Please can you advise on this.

Last month you had ILR after 5 years on Tier 2:

It isn't, but useful to state you are asking on behalf of someone else as most members will check your previous posting history to understand your circumstances.

Even better, ask your little brother to register on the forum and ask their own questions and post their specific circumstances.

Fair point.. i will ask him to do that.
