Your Visa responsibilities
LJMU has been granted a licence by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) to teach international students. UKVI has granted LJMU a “Highly Trusted Sponsor” Licence.
In order to maintain our right to teach international students, we are required to comply with the regulations set out by UKVI under the terms of our licence. LJMU is required to report to UKVI on all of our sponsored international students with regard to their enrolment; attendance and engagement; absence and completion.
Students are also required to comply with UKVI regulations.
The 'Your Student Visa Responsibilities' document outlines the responsibilities of LJMU, as well as your responsibilities as a sponsored student, and it is recommended that you read it carefully specifically where it talks about the following areas:
- Submission of Documents
- Failure to Enrol within the deadline
- Withdrawing or suspending your studies
- Changes in your personal circumstances, updating contact details
- Unauthorised absences and Attendance Monitoring
- Visa Extensions
- Employment
- Changing Immigration Category
