How to request a reference?
1. Give permission
Email reslife@herts.ac.uk and confirm you give permission for a reference to be released.
2. Landlord or tenant referencing service
Your landlord or referencing service must also email reslife@herts.ac.uk to request the reference.
⚠️References will only be completed if your accommodation payments are up to date. If you have an outstanding balance, we will contact you and you must resolve it before the reference can be provided.
When will I receive my reference?
- We aim to complete references as quickly as possible.
- Please allow up to 5 working days for completion.
- Tip for tenant referencing services (e.g., Van Mildert):
- Provide all details correctly: room number, flat number, hall of residence
- Make sure they use the email: reslife@herts.ac.uk
- Missing or incorrect details may delay your reference.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
