Student letters
Students occasionally need letters from the University, for a variety of reasons. This page lists various types of letter and how to obtain each.
This page is accurate for students on courses accredited by the University of South Wales (formerly Glamorgan). It has not yet been updated to include advice for students whose courses are accredited by the University of Wales (i.e. courses based in Newport).
Council Tax Letter
Also called Council Tax Exemption Certificate, you can obtain a Council tax letter online if you are eligible. These letters become available after teaching has begun each academic year.
If you need a letter for previous academic years, please contact your faculty.

- Student Status
- Opening bank accounts

You can obtain these letters from your Faculty:
