Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies (CAS)
A CAS statement is an electronic document you will need to apply for a Student Visa.

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.
