International Authorised Leave – Inform us of any leave
We recently emailed you about the Tier 4 authorised leave process. We would just like to remind you to follow this process when taking any leave from the University, especially with the Easter break approaching. This includes informing us of any overseas leave you intend to take whether or not it affects your class attendance. This should also include any overseas travel during a weekend.
To inform us of any leave you require please complete the online form on our website. You can also email us with any questions you may have.
New Facebook Group for International Students!
International Student Support have created a new Facebook group dedicated to our international and EU students. Through this new feature we can update you on important information and activities, including immigration news and updates, University and International Student Support events, and any important changes to University services that could affect you. The group is private and managed by International Student Support, and so it will be dedicated to your needs and requirements.
To request to join the group you can click here.

Police Registration – New process for updating your address
We have been advised by Staffordshire Police that if you need to update your address with the Overseas Visitor Registration Department at Staffordshire Police Headquarters in Stafford, you can now do this by post.
You need to book an online appointment (or create an online account if you don’t
already have one, then book), then post the following documents by recorded delivery:
- Police Registration Certificate.
- Copy of proof of new address – tenancy agreement/ utility bill/ letter from University
The address to post them to is:
Staffordshire Police

PO BOX 3167

You do not need to include a return envelope. Once the certificate is received and updated, the police will send it back by recorded delivery to the new address.
