Under the Points Based System, the University will be obliged to tell the UK Visas & Immigration department of the Home Office about any new students who:

• Fail to arrive and enrol at the agreed time for the start of their course
• Defer their studies
• Take temporary withdrawal/suspend their studies
• Withdraw from their studies
• Fail to attend their course for significant periods of time
• Make significant changes to their studies (e.g. location or length of course)

You will also have responsibilities under this system. You will be expected to:

• Provide the University with a copy of your immigration documents when you enrol and each time you extend your visa
• Keep your address and contact details in Northern Ireland up to date using your Queen's Online account
• Tell us if you are not able to arrive at the University at the agreed time
• Tell us if you want to defer your studies before you come to the UK
• Tell us if you are thinking about withdrawing or suspending your studies
• Attend all of your classes. If you cannot attend for any reason you must inform your School
• Tell us if you make any formal changes to your studies
• Ensure that you do not breach the conditions of your student visa (such as working more time than is permitted or making use of public funds)
