What this means for your application
Because Northern College of Acupuncture does not appear on the current register, it cannot issue a CAS, and without a CAS there is no way to score the 50 study points a Student visa application needs. If you have been offered a place here and expected visa sponsorship, contact the admissions office before paying any deposit, and check the official register yourself. Some institutions teach students who already hold permission to be in the UK through another route, which is legitimate but is not the same as being able to sponsor you.
