EU Settlement Scheme allows EU nationals and families to obtain the immigration status and continue to live, work and study in the UK

If you are an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, you and your family need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to protect your rights and stay in the UK.
The EU Settlement Scheme allows you and your family to obtain the immigration status you need to continue to live, work and study in the UK and access public services like the NHS.
If you are resident in the UK before 11pm on 31 December 2020, you must apply to the EU Settlement Scheme by 30 June 2021. We strongly advise you making your application as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen delays or difficulties with the application process as this deadline approaches.
The University does not currently require evidence that you have applied however it is important for you to obtain status through the scheme to protect your rights in the future.
How to apply
You will need to complete a short online application form using a computer, tablet or mobile phone.
Successful applicants will receive settled status or pre-settled status, depending on how long you have lived in the UK. You will get digital proof of your status through an online service.
Support is available if you need help with your application:
Call the EU Settlement Resolution Centre if you have any questions about your application: 0300 123 7379 or send a message using the online form.
