Registers and Attendance Monitoring:

The team is responsible for preparing attendance registers for academic staff on your programme, enabling them to monitor student attendance effectively. This is especially important for students studying under a visa, as attendance tracking is a key requirement.

Programme Administration can also support with a variety of letters and documentation:

Confirmation of Student Status:

We can provide official letters to confirm your student status for purposes such as memberships or travel card applications. Once you are fully registered in your first year, a Confirmation of Registration letter will be issued to you. This letter will be reissued in subsequent years of your course, provided there are no outstanding issues with your registration.

Bank Letters:

If you need a letter to open a student bank account, particularly as an international student without a UK passport, the team can issue the appropriate letter to support your application.

Council Tax Exemption:

If you are a full-time, fully registered student, and meet the relevant criteria, a Council Tax Exemption letter will be emailed to you once your registration is complete. This letter should be submitted or presented to your local Council Tax Office along with your bill, once received. If you require this letter to be resent at any time, we will be happy to provide a new copy upon request.

Travel Cards:

The team can validate your railcard or travelcard application by stamping it to confirm your enrolment as a registered student at the university.

Visa Students may request the below letters by completing this Letter Request Form. 

Non-visa students may request these letters by emailing Programme Administration. 

Important: please allow at least 2 working days for the preparation of letters or documents. Letters will be emailed to your student email address.
