My visa is due to expire before my graduation ceremony. Can I extend it?
No, unfortunately Tier 4 visas cannot be extended for the purpose of attending graduation ceremonies. You will need to return to your home country and apply for a Standard Visitor Visa in order to return to the UK and attend your graduation.
You will need to let Registry (studentrecords@yorksj.ac.uk) know that you intend to travel for graduation and they can issue you with a letter inviting you to attend. You and any family members who wish to attend graduation can use this letter to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa.
