Staff can now record student activity against a CAS request. A new Activities tab has been added when viewing a used CAS request that can be used to view existing activities or add new activities such as sponsorship withdrawn or change in student circumstances. This can also be used to ensure information reported to the UKVI can be recorded internally.

New roles Visa Compliance Manager and Visa Compliance Officer have been created. Also, new permissions UK Visa Compliance - Activities - Edit and UK Visa Compliance - Activities - View for adding, editing, or viewing activities.
