If you are enrolled at the University of Otago in the current academic year and you require evidence, an "enrolment status letter" can be generated in eVision. This is an official document, on University letterhead, confirming your current enrolment.
An enrolment status letter can only be generated for the current year.
If you are a confirmed finalist this letter will certify that you are currently enrolled in sufficient papers to complete your qualification/s, with major subjects or endorsements noted where applicable.
The letter will not provide any information for the current year if you are only enrolled in a paper with a start date from the previous year, such as non-standard papers and dissertations.
Your academic record in eVision will also show whether you are a finalist; however, this is not an official document.
If you are graduating this year and have already completed the requirements for your qualification, generate a "statement of completed qualifications" instead.
International students
If the downloaded letter does not provide you with all the information you need, email: international-support@otago.ac.nz from your student email address to request a personalised letter.
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.

Teaching period on enrolment status letters for PhD students
Letters 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. Letters 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 letter containing the required information. This is not printed on secure letter paper.
