如题，上一个学校的签证时间还有一年，然而当初要去新的学校持续上学，需求从新签证吗？假如不从新去签会有甚么影响吗？谢谢解答！

If you applied for your Tier 4 student visa on or after 5 October 2009
If you want to leave your current course in order to study the same or a different course with a different education provider, you must apply for a new Tier 4 visa. The new education provider must be a licensed Tier 4 sponsor, and must assign a new confirmation of acceptance for studies to you.
You can start your new course before we have approved your new Tier 4 application if:
–you have applied to us for permission to stay and study with a Tier 4 sponsor which has a highly trusted sponsor rating; and
–your permission to stay and study in the UK with your former sponsor is still valid; and
–your prospective Tier 4 sponsor has assigned a confirmation of acceptance for studies to you for your new course.
You will start your new course at your own risk, as we may refuse your application.
You cannot start your new course until we have approved your new application, if you are applying to us for permission to stay and study with a sponsor that has an A (Trusted) or B (Sponsor) rating.
If you are already studying in the UK when you decide to change to a different Tier 4 sponsor, you must make your new application from inside the UK.

我的签证是08年十一月签的，十一年10月到期，然而我新的课程到13年才能够完结，这样的状况是否只有去移民局请求下就能了？仍是要从新签呢？谢谢回复

Students who applied before the 5th October 2009
If a student wants to study with a new Tier 4 sponsor and he/she made his/her last application for a Tier 4 visa before 5 October 2009, he/she must get written permission from the UKBA if they have time left in their permission to stay, and want to do the same or a different course of study with a new Tier 4 sponsor. Students must tell the UKBA by sending an email including:
the new course and the start and finish dates; and
the new Tier 4 sponsor name, address and contact details.
The email address the student should send this to is [email protected]
The UKBA will give the student a letter of permission saying he/she is allowed to use his/her existing permission to stay to study with the new Tier 4 sponsor if:
the Tier 4 sponsor is approved by the UKBA and on the tier 4 register of sponsors (which can be found on the website); and
they can confirm the Tier 4 sponsor wants to act as the student new Tier 4 sponsor; and
the course meets the requirements for the General or Child student category.
If a student has told the UKBA about changing his/her Tier 4 sponsor, he/she can start the new course before he/she gets permission from us, but he/she does so at his/her own risk as they could refuse the permission. The UKBA will send a letter saying they have received the request to change Tier 4 sponsor.
Under the I妹妹igration Rules, your permission to stay in the UK as a student if he/she changes his/her Tier 4 sponsor without getting our permission could be limited.
If a student wants to take up a new course of study, either with his/her existing Tier 4 sponsor or with a new Tier 4 sponsor, and the length of the new course goes over his/her current permission to stay, he/she will need to apply with a new application to the UKBA. Note: it is advisable to make this application as soon as possible.
