How Do I Request a Trimester Break (Holiday) Letter?

If you need confirmation of your official trimester break or holiday period, email the Student Experience Team at [e-mail]. This letter is often required by international students who wish to work more than 48 hours per fortnight during an approved break. In your email, include your name, student ID, course name, and reason for request. Before working additional hours, check your work eligibility through VEVO or speak with your Education Agent.

Who Can Request This Letter

You can request a holiday letter if you:

• Are a current student at Ikon, and
• Are on an official trimester break as published in the academic calendar.

This letter is often used for employer verification or visa compliance purposes (for example, demonstrating eligibility to work full-time during official study breaks under a Student Visa).

How to Request

To receive your letter:

1. Email [e-mail] from your registered email address.
2. Include:
   • Your full name
   • Student ID number
   • Course name
   • Reason for request (for example, “Employer requires confirmation of my study break period”)

Once verified, the Student Experience Team will email your letter as a PDF within three (3) business days.

Important Notes

• Requests for a holiday letter can only be made to confirm official trimester break periods published in the academic calendar.
• Letters cannot be issued for personal leave or for any dates outside these approved breaks.
• Processing may take up to three (3) business days.

Visa and Work Information

If you are an international student, ensure you comply with your visa conditions before working additional hours:

• Check your work rights through Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO).
• Contact your Education Agent for visa-specific guidance.
