People from across Student Services staff the Student Services Centre counter. We are there as your first point of contact for advice on a wide range of general enquiries.

You will be asked to present your LSE Card or another official form of photo ID (ie, passport or driver's license) when collecting documents or accessing services.

Occasionally we have to change our opening hours - any changes will be listed in red above and further below.

If you have a cheque to collect, please liaise with the Financial Support Office directly. 

• Answering of general enquiries relating to a student's own record

• Answering of basic enquiries from prospective applicants to LSE or signpost to Student Recruitment or the relevant admissions office

• Production of Certificates of Registration (for opening a Bank Account, applying for Council Tax exemption, applying for a Schengen visa, etc) and Module Certificates

• Collection of transcripts and other requested documents

• Collection of student loan, scholarship and refund cheques - this service is not currently available. Please contact the Financial Support Office for information.

All students must show their LSE card in order to collect a document or cheque.

Unfortunately we are not able to help with the following queries:

• Production of reference letters. These should normally be requested from your Academic Mentor or supervisor.
• Advice on housing or council tax. Visit the Students' Union Advice and Support Service in the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre.
• Certification of non-LSE documents. The Post Office provide certain identity-checking services.
• We do not give out personal information about any of our students without written authorisation from the student themselves (as per the Data Protection Act 1998, see Data Protection).
• Advice on the content of a complaint/academic appeal or on responding to an academic misconduct allegation. We provide information on School procedures, however you can contact the Students’ Union Advice Service for independent advice on how to put your case forward. The Students’ Union Advice Service provide additional advice on all LSE procedures and can help you make an informed choice about how to proceed.
