  The University now uses "e-vision" to process applications.

  If this is your first application to Edinburgh Napier since the start of 2025 please can you contact Luke and he will send you a link to get you set up on the University's agent portal with your own log in and password.

  For your very first log in to the portal you will need the following information

   

  Agent code: C2CGBR001

  Name: Use your own full name (first name and family name)

  email address: enter your C2C email address

  Click "submit" after entering this information.  You will then be sent an email with your "agent interface username" plus a temporary password.  Next you will be prompted to set up your own 15 character password which must have a capital letter, number, special symbol.

  After entering this you will be emailed an "activation code" number.  Please enter this and it will allow you access to the e-vision portal.

  Decisions from South Asian applications are made for most courses in the Hyderabad office and take 1 day to process. It must be noted on the online application if the student has visited the UK before.

  IMPORTANT UPDATE ON CAS PROCEDURE FOR SOUTH ASIAN STUDENTS.  Message from the University 14 April 26

  The credibility interview forms a critical part of the CAS issuance process. As you are aware, Edinburgh Napier University conducts credibility interviews via CAS Shield, where all interviews are recorded as part of university compliance requirements.

  We have recently observed that some students are attempting the CAS Shield credibility interview without adequate preparation, resulting in unsuccessful outcomes. Additionally, with increased UKVI scrutiny and the introduction of the Agent Framework, it is increasingly important to ensure students are appropriately prepared prior to undertaking the final credibility interview.

  To better support both students and our partners, we will be implementing the following process going forward:

  Updated Procedure:

  1. Once the student has paid the deposit, please ensure that the TT copy is shared with us at apply.india@napier.ac.uk.
  2. Agents should conduct initial preparation and mock interview sessions with the student.
  3. The ENU India team will subsequently then connect with the student to conduct mock interviews.

  4.  Upon confirmation  from the ENU India team, the CAS Shield link will be shared with the student.

  5. The student will then proceed with the final credibility interview in CAS shield.

  How this will benefit students:

  • Agent-led preparation and mock sessions will ensure students are familiar with basic interview questions and have sufficient time to prepare effectively.
  • ENU India mock interviews will help students become more comfortable with the CAS Shield format and build confidence while interacting with the university.
  • The ENU India team will further refine student responses and provide targeted feedback where necessary.

  This enhanced process has been introduced to ensure students receive appropriate preparation and guidance, reduce the risk of unsuccessful credibility interviews, and align with current UKVI compliance expectations.

  We are confident that this collaborative approach between partners and the ENU India team will improve student preparedness and support stronger CAS outcomes.

  We appreciate your continued cooperation and support. Should you have any questions, please contact the ENU  India  Team.
