Request a letter
You may need an official letter during your studies to confirm you’re on a semester break for work and travel. Or perhaps a letter when inviting family and friends to visit.
You can request a semester break letter to show that you're not required to attend classes or placement during semester breaks or between teaching periods. This letter can prove your right to work unlimited hours – including more than 48 hours a fortnight – or can be used as a travel letter if you're planning to visit home.
Email isa@federation.edu.au using your student email address and include your student ID number. We'll respond with your letter within two university working days.
If you’d like to invite a family member to visit you in Australia, you can request an invitation to visit letter. This letter can support their visa application by confirming your enrolment and your relationship to the visitor.
