By when should my HEP point be completed, should it be this month to avoid delay in UK?

Yes, you should complete your HEP (Higher Education Provider) points this month to avoid delays in your UK student visa process for the September 2026 intake.

UK universities set strict deadlines for issuing the Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), and all conditions - including HEP points - must be met on time. For example, recent deadlines for a September intake included deposit and CAS issue dates in August, so completing your requirements early is essential.

These timelines are subject to change, so completing your HEP points promptly is the safest way to ensure your visa application proceeds smoothly.
