  • Can't find your books? Once you've checked the library's system and it isn't there; let the library know there's a problem - libline@essex.ac.uk

YOUR QUESTIONS

 

Will I need to pay council tax for my accommodation?

Full time students are exempt from paying for Council Tax. If you are living in University owned accommodation, this is automatically exempt so you do not need to do anything. If you are moving into off campus accommodation you will need to make sure you inform the relevant council of your student status. 

I’ve lost my student card over the summer – can I get a new one?

No need to panic, visit the Student Services Hub, Floor 1 of the Silberrad Centre to buy a replacement card (£5). 

My student loan payment has been delayed – is there any financial help available?

The University offers a Late Funding loan to both Undergraduate and Postgraduate students who have applied for funding from Student Finance or the NHS but who have not yet received any payments.
