For those on a Student visa, International Student Services provides a range of letters to meet the compliance requirements of external organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note, letters that aren&#8217;t specifically linked to the terms of your Student visa can be generated directly from Student Records Online, e.g. enrolment confirmation letter, bank letter, and council tax letter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All student letter&nbsp;requests&nbsp;are managed through our online Microsoft Form. Please click on the button below and log in using your University credentials to submit a request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please take care to answer all questions fully and accurately, as&nbsp;requests can only be actioned where the letter requested is appropriate to your circumstances and all required information has been correctly submitted. Letters can only be issued to currently enrolled students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All letters will be issued as an electronic pdf and emailed to your University account.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to process all valid requests within five working days, however during busy periods it may take slightly longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please avoid submitting duplicate requests, email reminders, or asking for an update, as this will limit our capacity to action your request. Due to email security and handling filters,&nbsp;duplicate requests are automatically removed from the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure there is no uncertainty as to whether a request has been submitted, please tick &#8216;Send me an email receipt of my responses&#8217;, before submitting the request. You will receive an email confirmation once your request has been submitted, avoiding any doubt or subsequent need to submit a redundant duplicate request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, we are not able to prioritise urgent requests or action requests submitted by email.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All letters issued remain valid for three months, unless there has been a substantive change in your enrolled student record or circumstances. Please do not submit repeat requests within a three-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"heading wp-block-heading\">Types and content of available letters<\/h2>\n\n\n<div  class=\"wp-block
