Caribbean Single Market  & Economy (CSME) Letter

A Caribbean Single Market & Economy (CSME) letter is very similar to the status letter but is addressed directly to the Ministry of Labour.  The CSME letter is provided by the UWI as a requirement for a graduate to obtain “A Certificate of Recognition of Caribbean Community Skilled Person”. A graduate who requires a CSME letter must request this at the Examinations Section Customer Service desk.

CSME letters are printed on the University’s letterhead, bear the University’s seal and are signed by the Assistant Registrar, Examinations.

Status Letter 

A status (degree completion) letter officially confirms that you have fulfilled your degree requirements and completed your programme of study.

This letter may be requested as soon as your degree has been declared. It includes the full name under which you were registered, Faculty/ies) of registration, period(s) of study, programme(s) of study, major/minor pursued, leave of absence, class of degree awarded and date of award.

Status letters are printed on the University’s letterhead, bear the University’s seal and are signed by the Assistant Registrar, Examinations.
