Hope you're all doing well after your final exams and are getting into your summer plans soon! 🌞
If you're worried about anything or looking for any advice about student finance, accommodation, getting set up with Gradintelligence and your myessex portal check out this useful link for answers to a lot of your questions https://www.essex.ac.uk/student/advice-and-support
Student finance sometimes ask for supporting documentation like your certificate of registration as proof that you will be an enrolled student. Link for instructions on how to get this here: https://www.essex.ac.uk/student/my-essex/documents
As a full time student if you live off-campus you are also entitled to a council tax discount, 🏠 if you live alone then this means your council tax is completely free for the duration of your studies, just don't forget to apply with your local council https://www.gov.uk/council-tax/discounts-for-full-time-students
I'll keep an eye on this thread over the summer so if you've got any questions or worries before you join us on campus in October share them here 🤗
Have a great summer everyone!
