The Glasgow School of Art provide certification for council tax exemption for students on full time courses leading to an eligible qualification. A full time course is one which requires study for more than 21 hours per week for at least 24 weeks in each academic year. Eligibility categories are based on Glasgow City Council and local authority exemption criteria.
For students on the last year of your course, please note that full time student status normally finishes once you have graduated . You can see the dates of the academic year here. Your full time status does not extend to your graduation or re-sit diet if you need to re-sit exams. If you are continuing on the same course after the summer, your status will normally cover you over the summer period.
