Student Handbook 2023/24

A standard EC claim must be accompanied by relevant supporting evidence, for example:

• Medical certification
• Death certificate
• Police report and crime number
• Other written evidence from a person in authority

Please note that although accompanying documentation can be submitted after the claim, standard claims without any evidence cannot be considered. It is in your best interest to provide evidence and supporting documentation that is as comprehensive as possible.

All evidence submitted in support of your EC claim application must be in English. If your evidence is not in English, it is your responsibility to obtain a certified translation.
