Time Limit for Tier 4

[secstu]

Dear all,
I am making this inquiry on behalf of a student who was issued a valid Tier 4 visa from 09/04/2013 to 16/10/2017 to study foundation and bachelor.
He would like to continue his studies in the UK for Masters Degree in the same university, but the university refused to issue him a new CAS after that he has received an unconditional offer saying that he will exceed for 5 years cap.
Is the university wrong by saying this? I have checked the policy guidance but still unclear about this.
Your advice is highly appreciated.
Regards,

No need to rely on hearsay. It's in the Immigration Rules, and explained by UKCISA here:
