Dear Partners, I hope you are well. I am writing to provide clarity and reassurance regarding CAS issuance at Essex for October 2026 entry. As you know, while the University of Essex did experience delays in issuing CAS during the October 2025 intake, I would like to clearly confirm that this is not the case for the October 2026 entry cohort. I am pleased to confirm that: We have received our first batch of CAS for our October 2026 cohort Our first CAS have already been issued to international offer holders this week who had met all pre-requisites CAS issuance for October 2026 is progressing on schedule, with no delays anticipated
We have been able to commence CAS issuance for October 2026 earlier and more smoothly. We are continuing to utilise Enroly to support our onboarding, compliance, visa and arrival processes for our October 2026 and January 2027 intakes to ensure students move through the visa process as efficiently and successfully as possible. As a reminder, information on our CAS processes can be found here. We appreciate that timely CAS issuance is critical for visa planning and applicant confidence, and we will continue to communicate proactively should there be any updates. At present, however, I would like to ask that you reassure your applicants of this important good news and update accordingly. Thank you, as always, for your continued support for the University of Essex. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your usual University of Essex Regional International Office team representative(s). Kind regards,
University of Essex |
