International Student Letter Request Form
On Campus students should call into the Registry office to request a letter.
DCU provides various letters of support that you may need throughout your academic year as an international (non-EU) undergraduate, postgraduate, study abroad or exchange/Erasmus+ student.
Please allow at least 5 working days for us to produce your letter. The letter will be securely emailed to your DCU email address using encryption.
The Irish Immigration Services requires that you must provide a letter from your college/school dated on or after the date your course commenced. Letters provided before the start of the programme even if you are registered will not be accepted.
