Late Arrivals

Where possible, you should aim to arrive at Ulster in plenty of time to start your course, but we know that visa delays and other factors can sometimes cause international students to arrive late.


These are a few important steps to take before arriving at Ulster University:

International students

Contact the international student experience team (ISE Team)  with your flight arrival time in advance.

Note: If your flight is delayed or cancelled or you will be arriving late for any other reason, you must update the ISE team.

This is because they will need to schedule a new time for you to complete registration and documents checks and ensure you get to class as soon as possible.

Student visa holders

Your deadline for enrolment and arrival in the UK is stated on your CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies).  If it is possible that you will be delayed and will miss your deadline you must contact compliance@ulster.ac.uk for advice before you travel to avoid difficulties entering the UK.
