"Navodya De Silva stated, 'I thought that by studying here I would improve my chances of having a good career in the tourism industry in my home country.'"
"'I did my part properly, paying my fees before the deadline. It was out of my control that there was a delay in the university receiving my payment.'"
"'I was a student who attended all my classes, got high marks and did all my assignments.'"
Navodya De Silva, a 25-year-old Sri Lankan student, faced expulsion from Coventry University due to a one-day delay in her tuition fee payment. Despite transferring the required amount before the deadline, the university did not receive it on time due to processing issues. This resulted in her study visa being terminated and her inability to continue her degree in international hospitality and tourism management. De Silva has applied for further leave to remain in the UK, fearing deportation if her application is denied.
