FEE STATUS: CATEGORIES WHO CAN BE ASSESSED AT THE HOME RATE

Universities and other higher education institutions in England and Wales may charge fees to international students at a higher rate than to home students. It is the responsibility of individual higher education institutions to assess the fee status of potential students. The guidance below gives the main details of the categories of student who are eligible to be assessed as home students. For further information, we recommend that you read the UKCISA Guidance Note Tuition fees: will I pay the home or overseas rate? which can be downloaded from the UKCISA website at: http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/pages/guidenote.htm.

If the academic year starts: on/after 1 August and before 1 January = 1 September, on/after 1 January and before 1 April = 1 January, on/after 1 April and before 1 July = 1 April or on/after 1 July and before 1 August = 1 July.

Condition 2: For the three year period preceding the first day of the first academic year of the course you have been ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Ordinary residence may be summarised as being lawfully, habitually and normally resident from choice and for a settled purpose, apart from temporary or occasional absences. Condition 3: No part of the three year period of residence described above was wholly or mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education i.e. if you have received full-time education during that period it should not have been the whole or main purpose for your residence.
