Students and spouses

Student nurses

If you are a student nurse you may qualify for a council tax reduction.

You're counted as a student nurse for council tax purposes if:

  • you're a nursing or a midwifery student. This includes those those on pre-registration undergraduate courses and post-registration health visitor training
  • you're taking a course which leads to registration under the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1997

Student nurses taking traditional hospital-based training do not count as students.

You need to have a MyGuildford account to apply for this discount.  If you do not have a MyGuildford account you can set one up. ​
