   **Not enrolled as a student anywhere. What do I do to not miss this research opportunity at NIMS?**

   I hope my question is relevant here.

   Background about me:
   I graduated in 2023 with a bachelor’s and have been working as a research assistant at a different university.

   I was offered a research opportunity at NIMS, Japan. I personally met with the professor at a conference and later mailed him for a research opportunity.

   Now the opportunity has been taken back because I am not enrolled as a student anywhere and to start at NIMS I will need something called the “student enrollement offer” which the enrolled institute I am in has to provide.

   Does anyone have an advice on what I can do to not miss this opportunity? Can I take enrollement letter from the university I am currently at?

   Are you a *student* at the university you are currently “at”? If so, knock yourself out. If not… Then you’re not enrolled at said university, and trying to provide any enrollment letter from them would be fraudulent and could cause you serious legal issues and professional/reputational damage if it’s discovered.

   Luckily for you: No admissions office at any even remotely reputable institution is going to provide you that letter, so your risk of actually suffering those consequences is fairly low.

   The opportunity is specifically aimed at active students, so… Be a student.
