Full-time students are exempt from paying council tax. The University sends a list of registered students to the Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire Councils. You will only appear on the list if you are fully registered by the time it is sent, if your registration has been completed after this you will need to get a 'council tax certificate' from the Infohub. You will also only appear on the list if the address on your record shows you live within the Council's remit. As such, please ensure that your address is up-to-date.
However, if you are asked by your Council for evidence of your student status, please email the Infohub (infohub@abdn.ac.uk) and request a 'council tax certificate'. In your email please include your Aberdeen and home addresses to ensure the document you are sent is accurate.
Please note: this document can only be produced the day after you complete MyCurriculum.

When you enter your extension period:
For Aberdeen City Council: you are eligible for council tax exemption for the first twelve months of this period only. You will need to fill in a form along with your supervisor, and then return it to the Registry (postgraduate@abdn.ac.uk). The Registry will then send a letter to council on your behalf. You can access the form here.
For Aberdeenshire Council: you will need to contact the council directly to find out what they require for exemption during this period.
The Infohub (infohub@abdn.ac.uk) can provide you with documentation which confirms your student status. When requesting this by email, please confirm your Aberdeen and home addresses to ensure the document you are sent is accurate.
Some authorities may provide you with a form for the University to complete. This can be emailed to the Infohub (infohub@abdn.ac.uk) to be stamped and signed, or to be passed on to the relevant department for completion.
