Quick answer
Search any UK university by name on Check University, or open its dedicated RAG status page from the directory. Each page shows the current Green, Amber, or Red band plus refusal, enrolment, and completion metrics.
How to look up a university RAG status
Use the band checker and type the full institution name. If the university is in our database, you will see its band assignment and compliance metrics immediately.
Every listed university also has a dedicated status page at /universities/[name]. These pages are designed for question-style searches such as “What is Coventry University RAG?” or “Is Coventry RAG red or green?”
- Go to Check University and search by name
- Open the university directory and click the institution
- Visit the dedicated page: e.g. Coventry University RAG status
- Compare with the Green, Amber, or Red band list for the same band
What Green, Amber, and Red mean
Green band sponsors meet all three UKVI RAG thresholds and retain full CAS allocation under the framework. Amber band sponsors are borderline — CAS issuance may be frozen. Red band sponsors face CAS cuts of at least 10% and heightened licence risk.
The worst single metric determines the band, not an average. Always verify the current band with the institution before paying deposits or accepting an offer.

If your university is not listed
Our database grows as compliance intelligence is reviewed. If a search returns no result, use the band lists to browse Green, Amber, and Red sponsors, or check back after the next data update.
Official UKVI public band ratings on the sponsor register are expected from summer 2027. Until then, confirm band status directly with the university admissions or compliance team.
