Payment of Fees
The College relies on student fees to meet its financial commitments. It is essential, therefore, that you pay your fees promptly and in accordance with the published details.
Fees are payable on the first day of each term but, to allow for difficulties which may arise for foreign students, a period of grace is given as shown on the payment schedule, after which a late payment fee of £10.00 per week is applied for each week or part week that fees are outstanding from that date.
Except in exceptional, previously agreed, circumstances any student who fails to make payment of fees by the published date maybe liable tosuspension. If fees remain outstanding at the end of the programme, the degree certificate will be witheld until payment has been made.
The proportion of British and EU students' fees which are paid by Local Education Authorities are exempted from the late payment surcharge as this payment is outside students' control. The balance of the fees payable is however subject to the above regulations.
Fees are not refundable unless paid in advance for a term not started.
There is a fee of £30 per subject for written resit examinations/assessments.
Any non public-funded student who fails a year and is permitted to repeat will receive a reduction of fee of one third for the repeat year only.
