If you need to send supporting documentation once you have submitted an application to Imperial, or if you are required to send original documents in order to satisfy the conditions of an offer of admission, you should send them, marked for the attention of the appropriate admissions team, to the address below:

Registry, Level 3 Sherfield Building, Imperial College London, South Kensington, London, SW7 2AZ

Please note, if you are required to send an original document to satisfy the conditions of an offer of admission, you can not email the document. You must send the hard copy original, marked for the attention of the relevant admissions team, to the address above.

Current students who wish to request documents such as academic transcripts, statements of attendance, and CAS numbers should read the information and guidance on the Registry website

Council tax exemption letters can be requested from the Student Records team. However, you are strongly encouraged to read the guidance notes to ensure that you are eligible for exemption.

All continuing students will receive an email in advance of the beginning of each academic year, prompting them to login to Student e-Service and complete the Registration process.

All new students who have had their places at Imperial confirmed, will also receive an email prompting them to login to Student e-Service and enrol online.

If you have completed all your studies and only have some resits to do, then it will not be possible to extend your visa in the UK. Instead, you will need to return to your home country and make an application to return to the UK on a Student Visitor Visa. Links to the Student Visitor Visa application form and guidance notes are available here:

The College Registry can produce a Student Visitor Visa letter for you with details of the month when your resit examination will be held.

MPhil/PhD and MD(Res) students are permitted to write up their thesis in College for six months immediately following the end of their registration and all experimental work. This allows you to have access to all College facilities for a registration fee of £100, payable either by you, your department/division or sponsor. An examination entry form must be submitted at the start of the writing up period. The Writing Up period cannot be extended beyond six months, but students may continue to write up away from College for the life of the Examination Entry.

If you enter the writing up status, an invoice for the £100 fee will be sent directly to you. If you are not covering the cost yourself, you should pass the invoice on to the relevant department or sponsor.

Overseas students should note that they may need to extend their visa as a result of entering writing-up status, and should discuss this with the International Office if necessary.
