A Sri Lankan student is facing an uncertain future in the UK after her university tuition fee arrived one day late due to a payment processing delay, despite her transferring the money before the deadline.
Navodya De Silva, 25, was studying international hospitality and tourism management at Coventry University, a three-year undergraduate course with overseas student fees totalling £42,000.
As reported by The Guardian, her father used his life savings to fund the degree, and De Silva had planned to return to Sri Lanka after graduating to pursue senior-level jobs in the tourism industry.

She completed her first year without issue after beginning her studies in October 2024. The deadline for the first payment of her second year was 6 October 2025.

She transferred the required £8,000 on 3 October, three days ahead of the deadline, but due to a delay in the payment processing system, the university did not receive the funds until 7 October, one day after the deadline.
