Can I still get a student bank account without a ucas code?

I applied directly through my college, so I don't have a ucas code. My course is full time though, so I'm not really sure what to do? Is there any other way I could just show them my acceptance letter or something? Or could i contact ucas and ask them for one?

Your university should be able to provide you with a letter confirming your name, address, your programme of study, and its start and end dates. That should be enough for a bank.

It's possible that you'll need to register on your programme before you can ask for such a letter.

yeah, that's the letter that I got today. Do you think I'll have to go into a branch to show them or I'll be able to email it?
