Reference material for advisers

The UKCISA Manual

UKCISA manual The UKCISA Manual is the definitive, annually updated guide to regulations and procedures for international students. It should be on the desk of every member of staff involved in advising international students. Its four sections cover Immigration; Fees and Student Support; Welfare, health and tax benefits; and Council Tax and Northern Ireland rates.

Complimentary copies are sent to the primary contact (one copy each for students' unions and non-educational institutions; one copy per thousand full-time equivalent non-UK students). Additional copies can be ordered using the Manual 2010 order form.

The Guide to Tier 4 related rules and regulations, the immigration section of the UKCISA Manual 2010 with the latest updates, is available for members.

Information Sheets for Students

UKCISA Information Sheets are intended for international students (though they may also be useful for staff working with them). They provide brief, easy to understand explanations of the issues and topics students most often ask about. There is a full list of titles in the Student Advice section of our website, from which all the sheets can be downloaded.

We review all of them annually, and whenever amendments are made revised copies are posted on the web and sent to Primary Contacts. Members in further and higher education institutions, students unions and voluntary organisations may photocopy the Information Sheets freely for internal distribution. All members may link to the Information Sheets from their own websites.
