Fee status assessment

Your fee status is determined in accordance with regulations published by the UK government. The relevant legislation is the Education (Fees and Awards) (England) Regulations 2007 (SI 2007, No. 779) and subsequent amendments, as approved by Act of Parliament.

果冻影院鈥檚 advice below is based upon the relevant legislation and amendments cited above. Updated guidance may be provided on this page from time to time. You are advised to check here regularly.

The assessment of fee status is communicated via 果冻影院's formal offer of admission. By accepting 果冻影院's offer of admission you agree to pay the fees stated in 果冻影院's offer. In cases where an assessment of fee status has not been possible, or if the assessment is being queried, a fee status questionnaire will be sent to you. This must be returned within three months. Failure to return the questionnaire or provide any requested documentation will result in you being classified as Overseas for fee purposes.

The following 果冻影院 departments are responsible for making the assessment of your fee status:

Appeal your fee status

Once 果冻影院 gives its definitive assessment, which will be outlined in either your offer letter or correspondence following the completion of a fee status questionnaire, you have three months to appeal in writing.

Appeals are handled by the Director of Access and Admissions who will communicate the appeal decision to you in writing. The final right of appeal is to the Registrar and must be made within three months of the initial appeal decision.

If the fee status is undetermined at the start of your studies, 果冻影院 policy is to invoice at the Overseas fee rate. Should you subsequently be re-assessed as eligible for UK fees (or EU fees for those who started their studies聽in July 2021 or before), the appropriate refund of fees will聽be made.

Change your status to UK聽after the start of your programme

果冻影院's fee status assessment remains in place for the duration of the programme with the exception of the certain聽circumstances, including the following:

  • You or a relevant family member obtains UK聽nationality and you have been ordinarily resident in the UK, EEA, Switzerland or overseas territories for the three year period before the first day of the first academic year of the programme and meet other specific residence requirements (please contact Admissions for further information).
  • You, or in some cases, your spouse/civil partner, parent or parent of your spouse/civil partner becomes covered by one of the special leave categories such as聽refugee status or Humanitarian Protection. This status must be obtained in the UK. Additional restrictions apply if you are seeking UK fee status as the spouse/civil partner, child or child of a spouse/civil partner.

Please contact Admissions聽immediately if you believe you fall into one of these categories to request that a review of your fee status be undertaken.

If you are eligible to have your fee status reassessed whilst studying at 果冻影院 this will be from the start of your聽苍别虫迟听academic year, not from the start of your programme.
