We have been receiving lots of calls from poorly students and worried parents during exam season. If you are too ill to attend your exam (or will attend but haven’t performed to the best of your ability) or haven’t submitted an assignment by the deadline you MUST submit an Exceptional Factors form with evidence. MMU have devised a helpful page on assessments Here and we have written an Exceptional Factors Guide

Council tax advice

Council tax.

If you are a full-time student you are exempt from paying council tax.

MMU will either inform your council directly that you are a student or you will need to obtain a Council Tax Exemption Certificate from your Student Information Point or Life Office and send it to your council to confirm your exemption. This is not automatic so why not check out our booklet on council tax available on our website to find out how you should confirm your exemption. Part time students may also be able to claim Council Tax Benefit.
