Confirmation of Status Letters

Documents confirming your student status, letters for council tax purposes and bank letters are available through the University Student Self Service.

In order to open a bank account, you will need to provide evidence of your student status. Most banks in Oxford will accept a stamped self-certification document. If you intend to open an account at NatWest or Barclays you will need to contact the College Office and ask for a bank letter. To do this please call in to or email the College Office, specifying the name of your bank.

If you need a document or letter authenticated with the College stamp, please bring it the College Office.
