Letters

There are two types of letters available – Certification Letter (for Alumni only) and Student Status Letter.

Certification Letters are official letters that certify a graduate’s status from the University and are available for students who have been conferred or awarded their degrees or graduate diplomas.

Student Status Letters are official letters that verify an individual who is currently registered as an NUS student and will contain their current candidature information.
