Your university tells the Home Office when you have completed your course. You cannot apply for Graduate leave until that has happened.
Questions to ask
- When does my university report completion?
- What if my results are delayed?
- What if I resit a module?
Ask your advice team early. A resit or late result can move your timeline.
