What you need to know

I need to prove I'm a student at the university

You can request a student status letter on NottinghamHub once you are fully registered on your course. New students have start their course and complete registration before a letter can be issued.

When you register, you will receive an email confirmation confirming that you are studying at Nottingham, so in some cases you may not need order a letter. 

The letter confirms the details on your student record, including your name, student ID, date of birth, course and start date. Where relevant, it will also include a link to the university term dates, your expected completion date and a link to the graduation details which will include published university graduation dates.

Letters are provided directly to your email address and can only be requested online.

I need a letter so I don't have to pay Council Tax                  

If you are a full-time student at the University of Nottingham, you may not need to pay council tax. If you are studying part-time, you are not eligible for a council tax exemption and we will not be able to provide a letter. 

Who needs a letter? 

  • If you live in university halls of residence, you are automatically exempt and don’t need to do anything. 
  • If you live in one of the local authority areas listed below, the University will let them know once you are fully registered and have entered both your home and term-time addresses in NottinghamHub: 
    • Broxtowe Borough Council 
    • Derby City Council 
    • Erewash Borough Council 
    • Gedling Borough Council 
    • North West Leicestershire District Council 
    • Nottingham City Council 
    • Rushcliffe Borough Council 
      In these cases, you do not need to request a letter. 
  • If you live outside of these areas, you may still be eligible for an exemption and can request a council tax letter from us. 

Other situations 

If someone else (for example, a parent) needs proof of your student status for a council tax discount, please request a confirmation of student status letter instead. See I need to prove I’m a student at the university 

If you are a postgraduate research student, you will usually remain eligible until you submit your thesis. Once you have submitted your thesis for examination, you will no longer be eligible.
