Postgraduates: how to get a CAS number

• Log into your Applicant Hub through EUCLID. You will then be able to see your offer under ‘My Applications’ (postgraduate students).
• Select ‘Open Application’
• Select the link which states ‘Please tell us if you require a CAS.’
• Indicate whether you will need a CAS number for use in a Student visa application.

You can expect your draft CAS within 5 to 7 working days (only after your certificates have been confirmed by your School/Admissions). 

July and August are our busiest months. Please be patient at that time of year. 

We will issue your draft CAS as soon as we are able to.

Once you receive your draft CAS, you will need to review it and confirm the details are correct. If any of the details need to be changed, we will send a new draft to you with the updated details.

To confirm your details, log in to your Euclid portal and click on the ‘Immigration details’ tab under Personal Details. There you will find your draft CAS.

If everything is correct

If everything is correct, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the green button to send us your confirmation.

If details are incorrect

If your details are incorrect, you can click on the red ‘There is a problem with the information’ button to submit a report in the pop-up box. This sends the information back to us for review and editing if necessary.

New PhD students: Your CAS course end date is based on your maximum programme end date. This 4th year allows for the Thesis writing-up and Viva process. 

Once you have confirmed the details on your draft CAS are correct, your CAS number will be generated within 3 working days. You will be notified of the CAS number by email. You will not receive a document. With this number, you can then apply for your Student visa.
