Only current students can request this type of letter, if you're an applicant or a graduate other documents are available to you.You will need complete registration before you can request this letter.  

When you have fully registered for the new academic year you will be sent an email confirming this. This email will be in a similar format to a student status letter and may be sufficient to formally confirm that you are a student at the university so you may not need to request a letter from us.

If you need a letter to travel abroad or for visa purposes, and it has to be addressed to an embassy, please see the 'I want to travel overseas and I need to get a visa' section below.

1) Are you a part-time student?

Only full-time students are eligible for a council tax exemption certificate. If you are a part-time student we will not be able to complete your order.

2) Are you requesting it on behalf of someone else?

If the letter is for someone else to claim a Council Tax discount or exemption (for example, a parent), you will need to order a Confirmation of Student Status letter, which can be requested here.

3) Do you live in university halls of residence?

You are automatically exempted from paying council tax and no further action is required.

4) Do you live locally to Nottingham?

If you do not live in halls of residence, but you do live within one of the seven Local Authority areas listed below, you do not need a letter, as the University will notify them on your behalf. 

• Broxtowe Borough Council
• Derby City Council

• Gedling Borough Council
• North West Leicestershire District Council
• Nottingham City Council

If you do not live in university halls of residence, and you live outside of the Local Authority areas listed above, you may still be eligible to receive a council tax exemption.
