If you're enrolled at the University of Otago in the current academic year and you require evidence of this, a "Statement of Enrolment" can be generated through eVision. This is an official document, on University letterhead, confirming your current enrolment.
If you are a confirmed finalist, this statement will certify that you're currently enrolled in sufficient papers to complete your qualification/s, with major subjects or endorsements noted where applicable.
Generate statements of enrolment or completed qualifications
Your academic record in eVision will also show whether you are a finalist; however this is not an official document.
If you're graduating this year and have already completed the requirements for your qualification, generate a "Statement of Completed Qualifications" instead.
International Students
If the downloaded statement doesn't provide you with all the information you need, email international-support@otago.ac.nz from your student email address, to request a personalised statement.
Returning students will need to email student.visa@otago.ac.nz and request a "Confirmation of Enrolment" letter. The letter you can download yourself in eVision is not accepted by Immigration New Zealand.
International students applying from overseas
Regardless of where a student is located, if they need an offer of place or confirmation of enrolment letter for a New Zealand student visa then enquiries can be emailed through to student.visa@otago.ac.nz The request will be forwarded on to International Admissions Co-ordinator if required.
Teaching period on statements for PhD students
Statements for PhD students will note the teaching period as either Full Year or Part Year; it will not state which teaching period a part-year student is enrolled in. Statements only contain the teaching period information that appears in the academic record. If such a student requires more detailed information refer them to the Doctoral team who can produce an individualised statement containing the required information. This is not printed on secure statement paper.
A student's finalist status may not show on their Statement of Enrolment if it has not been verified by Student Records.
Check a student's verified finalist status in eVision:
- Click on their ID number.
- Navigate to the Programme tab.
- Select the programme.
If the student is not a verified finalist, escalate this to Student Records by assigning to Student Administration — Records Management General.
