Payment Of Fees After Withdrawal
Where a student withdraws from the course, the student’s fee liability will mirror the SFE methodology (except where an employer/sponsor pays the fees), whereby a student’s total fee liability is determined by confirmation of attendance at three liability points during the academic year.
After the start of Term 1 - 25% of the total course fees
On the start date of Term 2 - 50% of the total course fees
On the start of Term 3 and thereafter - 100% of the total course fees
University level financing
Support can be easily accessed from The Student Loans Company for any of our university level courses.
Support can be accessed for tuition fees and personal maintenance. If you apply for tuition fee support, The Student Loans Company will pay your course tuition fees directly to us, removing the hassle of you having to deal with any payments.
You can also apply for a maintenance loan to help cover your living costs whilst studying, whether you stay at home or move out. How much you receive will be dependent on your household income/income of your parents.
You may also be eligible to apply for a support grant.
Paying It Back
Paying back your tuition fees and loan might sound a bit scary, but it really isn't. Repayments work like this; you only start paying your loan back when you earn more than £27,295 a year* - and that's not until the April after you finish your course.
Once you go over the threshold, you will pay back 9% of your income over £27,295 - not 9% of your total income.
The repayments will automatically be deducted from your wages before you'll have the chance to notice, or spend it!
If you have previously taken out a 19+ Advanced Learner Loan for a recognised Access to HE Diploma, the balance will be written off upon completion of a full degree!
