Resit Uni

Post by Gaqweahd » Sun Apr 30, 2017 2:13 am

Hi everyone, it is my final year at uni I started in Jan 2015 and hopefully my course ends on jan 2018 but I have my visa till Nov 2018 so I was thinking about failing my dessertastion module and re do that module again? Is that possible I mean I want to keep this extension as it will help my 10 years plan? Or do you guys have any suggestions?

Kind Regards thank you for ur replies

You are lucky your University hasn't picked up on the fact you have been issued with a Visa for too long. I would fundamentally advise you to do nothing that looks like you are gaming the system - your University can if they want report to the UKVI that your Visa has been issued too long. The second fact is that if you fail your dissertation and re-sit, your University can also notify the UKVI of this as you will have no new learning and therefore no academic participation, of which any student must have (outside of the last 4 months on the Visa). Treading extremely dangerous ground here.

Also as a final year student, if you are unable to resit before your current visa expires, you will have to leave the UK and apply for a new Student Visitor Visa. Just how do you think you can stretch out your student leave until you reach 10 year long residence :?:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Can't really offer any thoughts until I know:

(1) What was the course end date on your CAS?
(2) What course is it?
(3) When did you come to the UK?

Sah was correct for the advice on the CAS. Your CAS end date is indicating 31st of July is your end date. Therefore your University will monitor your current status - chances are they will pick up at some point in the next 6 months that your end date is incorrect (seems they gave you an extra 6 months).

Even 'redoing' a module won't give you any new ACademic Engagement. Seems you need to hope the Uni don't pick up on the mistake - but it is a dangerous game.

Course end date on the CAS is 31 July 2018, and OP's Tier 4 leave ends on 30 November 2018. This leave is therefore correct, and given that OP arrived in the the UK in October 2008, it means OP will have achieved 10 years' long residence.

However, OP says they plan to finish their course in January 2018, which would prompt curtailment for ending early. That seems a rather perverse choice of action. OP, can you clarify why you are ending your course 6 months earlier than your university expected you to? Was the CAS end date of 31 July 2018 incorrect?
