    As above just write a letter to your bank saying that you are no longer a student and have not completed your course. Don't give them the date your stopped being a student or why. I seriously doubt they will ask any questions about it at all. You may lose your overdraft completely, they might only keep it going for graduates, which is why I think it's important to tell them you did not complete your course.
    Changing the world, one sarcastic comment at a time.

    I agree with above post.
    Ask them for a small o/d facility in case of need - it will save you a small fortune should you inadvertently go overdrawn.

    if you just leave the student account alone in time it will change to a standard account anyway. when i graduated uni my student account automatically changed to a graduate and 2 years later to a standard current account, i have never had to show the bank any proof of my degree or anything like that!
