• Your entry clearance vignette (if you were issued one)
• Your full UKVI decision letter or email  

4. Ensure that you make plans to travel to the UK from the date stated on your eVisa. If you travel earlier than the date stated on your eVisa, you will be asked to return to your home country and return to the UK from the date stated on your eVisa. 

As soon as you arrive in the UK, you must upload the following documents to your Enroly CAS Shield account:

If these are temporary, please enter the temporary details and update them once you have permanent information. It is your responsibility to update this information after any change during your studies.  

You must also ensure that you have paid all the required course fees and completed your online enrolment.  

If you were issued with a new passport between the time you submitted your visa application and the time you travelled to the UK, then you must upload your new passport onto your e:Vision account.
