The Academic Administrative Support Centre is your main point of administrative contact throughout your studies. Each course has a nominated Academic Administrator who can help you with:

  • Change of course status (Deferrals, Transfers and Withdrawals)
  • Academic regulations
  • Choosing your optional modules
  • Extensions and mitigations
  • Module resits and retakes
  • If you have recently changed your name or status
  • Module enrolments affecting your timetable

In addition, we can provide you with Student Letters - please see how to request these below.

How to contact your Academic Administrator

The best way to contact the Academic Administrator for your course is by email. Find their contact details below. However, if you would prefer to call us directly you can contact your School/College office on 0208 142 9399 (open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm).

The Academic Administrative Support Centres are located in The Heart at St Mary’s Road, Ealing and at Level 2 at Paragon House, Brentford.

Student letters

We provide the following letter types, all of which can be requested via MyRegistry on the e:Vision portal.

  • Student Status Letter

    This is an official letter that the University can provide to confirm your course details and active status.

    It is a verified document that you can share with a range of external bodies where required.

    Please ensure that your term time address is up to date on MyRegistry before you submit any letter requests.

  • Council Tax Exemption Letter

    If you are a current student on a full-time course, then you could be eligible for a Council Tax Exemption letter.

    Please ensure that your term time address is up to date on MyRegistry before you submit any letter requests.

  • Bank Letter

    A Student Status letter will usually be accepted by your bank as evidence of your student status if you wish to open a student bank account.

    In some cases, your preferred bank may request a specific letter from the University in order to open this account type, in which case you may request this letter type.

    Please ensure that your term time address is up to date on MyRegistry before you submit any letter requests.
