If you have received an unconditional offer from Goldsmiths but are yet or unable to complete the CAS request form, please contact immigration (@gold.ac.uk).
If you are a new student, we will write to you around 3 months before your programme starts to ask you to formally request a CAS from us.
Any current Goldsmiths students looking to apply for a new CAS can contact us directly for further information.
