Tuition Fee Loan paid by SLC

Fees Paid via a Tuition Fee Loan from the Student Loans Company

From September 2006 all Home and EU undergraduate students can take out a loan from the SLC to cover their (or their share of) tuition fees, up to the maximum £3375 in 2011-12 for 2006 to 2011 entrants, or £1345 for pre-2006 entrants. The SLC releases the tuition fee loan directly to the University in two instalments (Feb and May) for those students confirmed as being in attendance on 1 December 2011 – i.e. no tuition fee loan is paid for students who take leave of absence or withdraw prior to 1 December 2011. Therefore the following table sets out the University’s policy for reducing the tuition fee loan element of the fee:

Home Undergraduates Autumn Semester

Withdrawal / LOA*	Dates	Percentage payable
Intro Week – 30 Nov	19 Sept 2011 – 30 Nov 2011	0%
1 Dec - Week 15	1 Dec 2011 - 5 Feb 2012	50%

Home Undergraduates Spring Semester

Withdrawal / LOA*	Dates	Percentage payable
Week 1 - Week 7	6 Feb 2012 – 25 March 2012	75%
Week 8 →	26 March 2012 →	100%

*Week of withdrawal or start of leave-of-absence (granted by Faculty Board)

**These dates relate to students whose registration start date is 26 September. The dates should be adjusted for cross-sessional students according to the ‘start of registration’ date.

If you take leave of absence or withdraw, the University will inform Student Finance England or equivalent of your revised tuition fee loan amount.
