Student Status Letters

During your studies you may be required to provide information to confirm your student status.

Registry Services can produce the following letters on request:

  • Student status letters confirming your status as a registered student.
  • Bank introduction letters if you wish to open a student bank account.

These letters include programme start and end dates, registration status and mode of attendance, programme details and your name, address and date of birth. We also produce Council Tax Exemption Certificates.

Council Tax Exemption Certificates

Full-time students are generally exempt from Council Tax. Please see the Exeter City Council website for rules relating to Exeter Council Tax exemptions.

If you live in the City of Exeter you do not need to request a council tax exemption certificate unless your landlord or the City of Exeter Council has specifically requested you provide one.

If you are a full-time student and live outside the City of Exeter you may be required to provide an exemption certificate to your local council. This certificate is produced by us on request.

If you are registered as a full-time postgraduate research student, you remain eligible for a council tax exemption whilst you are registered as a continuation status student (for no more than 12 months) or until you have submitted your first thesis for examination, whichever is earlier.

For students studying at the Cornwall Campus, Student Information Desk provide Cornwall Council with a list of all registered students.  If you still require a Council Tax Exemption Certificate please contact Cornwall Campus Student Information Desk. 

Please see below for contact details and remember to quote your student number.
