# Get bank letters and student status letters
When you enrol, you will be given a bank letter request form. Fill this in and return it to the Info Point in the Student Centre or the Hub. You will then receive an email (to your University email) with an electronic copy of the letter. It may take up to 3 working days to make the letter and send it to you at busy times.
Make sure that your address is correct on SOLAR before you hand your form in. Banks will only accept your letter if:

You can change your address in SOLAR online by following our guide.
