Paying for your course

If you do not fall into any of the listed categories - we may still be able to help you cover the cost of your tuition and exam fees, if you tell us at the outset. You will need to prove that you are a low wage earner and will be asked for evidence of the income of any partner or spouse living with you. Not all courses qualify for help with fees and not all students will get 100% of their fees remitted. We have a cut-off date for help - applications close on 22/10/09. Additional help may be available from the Learner Support Fund to help with other costs e.g. materials essential for course work, help with travel, childcare payments or emergency payments. Contact Learner Services for application forms.

If you are studying a part-time Higher Education course you need to apply to the Local Education Authority for your tuition fees to be paid.

Paying for your course
To pay the full cost of your course you will need:
• Credit/debit card or cash/cheque.

To enrol on a course that is employer funded you will need:
• A letter from your employer confirming this. Please ask for our leaflet Information for Employers about payment of fees for 2009/10.

*Students aged under 19 at the beginning of the academic year will not be required to pay for first-time examination fees. For these students the College will, where appropriate, pay for one examination attempt. Subsequent re-sits will normally be charged at the full cost.

For some courses, examination fees and some tuition fees are not available at the time of going to press. Therefore, costs are not included in the prospectus (TBA).

Students are advised to budget for books and materials (e.g. paper, overalls and tools) which they may wish to purchase during their course.
