If you applied for a Student visa and your course is longer than 6 months, in most cases you will receive a BRP card (Biometric Resident Permit), which is your visa. Some students will receive a digital visa status or share code instead of a BRP card.
If you are not a UK national, you must complete the Right to Study Checks to be fully enrolled on your course. Please refer to the information on the Right to Study Checks webpage. Students who are collecting their BRP from the University will need to bring their passport and visa decision letter. Students who are collecting their BRP from the Post Office should collect their BRP first and then bring it with their passport. If you are collecting BRPs for your dependants, please bring your passport, your dependants’ passport and their letters from the UKVI confirming their visa.
You can attend any of the following drop-in sessions without an appointment:
- Between Monday 11 September and Thursday 14 September from 11.00am to 3.00pm (weekdays only). Please come to the Student Central counter, John Henry Brookes Building, Headington Campus.
- Between Friday 15 September and Tuesday 26 September from 11.00am to 3.00pm (weekdays only). Please come to the Executive Suite, John Henry Brookes Building, Headington Campus.
- Between Wednesday 27 September and Friday 6 October from 11.00am to 3.00pm (weekdays only). Please come to Student Central Room 4, John Henry Brookes Building, Headington Campus.
Outside these times, please contact isct@brookes.ac.uk for an appointment. Appointments will be available on Monday 21 August and Wednesday 30th August, Monday 4 September and Thursday 7 September. Please note that all Right to Study checks must be completed by Friday 6 October 2023.
If your visa decision letter/email from the UKVI tells you your BRP will be delivered to Oxford Brookes University, please email isct@brookes.ac.uk to arrange a time to collect it. When collecting your BRP from the University, you will need to bring your passport, and visa decision letter if you applied outside of the UK. If you are collecting BRPs for your dependants, please bring your passport, your dependants’ passport and their letters from the UKVI confirming their visa.
If you have applied for your visa inside the UK and are collecting your BRP from the Post Office, or your BRP card was delivered to your home address, please email a copy of the front and back of your BRP card to isct@brookes.ac.uk.
