University Letters

Students who have completed all ten steps of registration for the current academic year will be eligible to request a Confirmation of Registration letter. The letter will confirm that you are a fully enrolled student and some details of your course. This letter can be used for a number of purposes, including supporting an application for council tax exemption and proving to your landlord that you are a student.

If you require proof of your student status in order to claim council tax exemption, please request a Confirmation of Registration letter (see above).

This letter will show the start and end date of your registration, which will be the same dates you are eligible for council tax exemption.

A Bank Letter can be used by international students to assist with an application to open a UK bank account. You can bring this letter to your appointment with a bank to prove your student status.

Your Bank Letter will be generated automatically and will be sent to your University email address once the first nine steps of the registration process have been completed in full. Please allow 72 hours to receive this document.

To meet UK bank requirements, you must include your home country, and Manchester address in full, including a flat and room number where appropriate. Please make sure you check your address details on My Manchester before submitting a request for this letter.

Students who have registered, or are due to register, for the current academic year will be eligible to request a Confirmation of Fees letter. The letter will confirm details of your programme of study, and confirm tuition fees due in the academic year. This letter is most commonly used as proof to sponsors of the tuition fees that are due.

Students travelling to one of the Schengen countries will need to collect a Schengen Visa letter in advance of their appointment with the embassy. When applying for a Schengen Visa, please specify which country you will be travelling to, as this will be important when producing the letter.

Please note that it can take up to 5 working days for your letter request to be processed. If you are late to request a letter, we are unable to expedite its production and you risk having to reschedule your visa appointment which may result in additional costs.

A Confirmation of Award Letter is a less formal alternative to a certificate or transcript which includes much of the same information, such as your course, classification, start and end of registration dates, and date of award.

Any graduate can request a digital version (PDF) of this letter by emailing graduation@manchester.ac.uk and quoting 'Confirmation of Award Letter' in the subject line.
