You will need to be fully registered before you can request and have student letters issued.  Also, this service is only available to students studying with the University of Greenwich and based on one of our three main campuses (Greenwich, Avery Hill or Medway).

If you're a continuing student you will need to make sure you have completed your Online Registration, or if you're a new student you will need to complete your Online Registration, Document Checks and Collect your ID Card before we can issue you a letter.

Approximately 2 hours after you're fully registered you can get a digital letter by logging into the Digital Student Centre and clicking on the 'My Documents' button.

Depending on who you need to prove your student status to, you can request different types of letters:

  • Confirmation of Student Status: a letter that proves your student status, home address (and Term Time address if applicable), and the university’s term dates. This can be given to your employer, GP, embassy, or anyone who needs to know that you’re a student;
  • Council Tax Exemption: for eligible students to support council tax reduction/exemption;
  • Bank: to support opening a bank account or to change your address with your current bank – you’ll need to add the name of the bank before your letter can be generated.

Please make sure your address is up to date on the Portal so it shows up correctly on your letters. You can find more information on our Student Letters webpage.
