1. Taking out a tuition fee loan - Students will be liable for their tuition fee from the start date of their programme/first day of term (unless they leave on the first day of term). We recognise, however, that where a tuition fee loan has been taken out, payments will be made by the Student Loan Company on a student’s behalf, shortly after the dates shown below.

2. Once a term has started, students are liable for the full fee for that term (unless they leave on the first day of term), even if they withdraw or take a leave of absence from their programme during the term. Please note: this is subject to the 14 days (10 working days) "cooling off" period available to students in the first year of a new programme (not including internal transfers between programmes).

3. Paying your own fees – A student’s total tuition fee for 2023/24 will be charged from the start date of their programme/first day of term. If a student chooses not to take out a tuition fee loan, they are required to pay fees in full at the start of term. If they are unable to pay in full they must pay a minimum of 50 per cent by 31 October 2023 and set up an agreed instalment plan for the balance. For details please contact income@dmu.ac.uk.

4. Term dates and tuition fee liability points differ for some Health and Life Sciences Faculty programmes due to the number of weeks of study per academic year. The tables below set out details of courses that have non- standard undergraduate term dates and where applicable the varied liability points for these programmes, depending on the programme and if there are multiple intakes.

5. Please note: students who change seasonal intake (also known as backgrouping their studies, i.e. change from a January or March start date to a September start date) will remain on their original Student Finance annual cycle for Tuition Fee Loan and Maintenance purposes. This is due to the way in which Student Loan Company Funding Regulations restrict the way in which student funding can be paid. In line with this, ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ will continue to draw down student fees based on the original intake.

a. Backgrouped students will be required to pay for additional registration periods which may or may not be covered by a Tuition Fee Loan entitlement. Such students are required to seek advice from the University’s Student Finance and Welfare team about fee liability and funding entitlement before committing to study dates and backgrouping arrangements proposed by their Faculty.

67. Once a term has started, students are liable for the full fee for that term (and for terms previously enrolled), even if they withdraw or take a leave of absence from their programme during the term. For example, a student withdrawing their studies in the Spring Term, would be liable for fees incurred in the autumn term and spring term at the rates detailed above.

International research students starting pre-September 2017

68. A student’s total tuition fee for 2023/24 will be charged from the start date of their programme/first day of term. 50 per cent of the fees must be paid by 31 October 2023 and the balance can be paid by instalments. For details please contact income@dmu.ac.uk.

69. Where a student withdraws or takes a leave of absence from their studies during the first term, 50 per cent of the fee will be due for payment irrespective of the date of withdrawal. For withdrawals and leave of absences occurring after the Christmas vacation, a pro-rata charge will be levied on a daily basis.

70. For students studying at partner institutions, students in most cases will be subject to the relevant Charging and Refunding Policy as stated above. However, in cases where partner institutions have additional policies, these will also need to be adhered to.

71. For Home students at partner institutions or on a partner institution and ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ integrated programme, who are studying a non-standard course (i.e. non –September start, compressed, accelerated or distance learning) and are in receipt of Student Loans Company Funding, please note: different liability points will be in place for your programmes due to the way in which Student Loan Company Funding Regulations restrict the way in which student funding can be paid.

72. ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ that fall into this remit are:

• ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ International College (ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥IC) January Start Programmes with an International Year Zero and/or International First Year
• ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ International College (ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥IC) April Start Programmes with an International Year Zero and/or International First Year
• Fairfield School of Business programmes

• National Motorsport Academy programmes
• National Design Academy programmes
• Performance Preparation Academy programmes
• Raindance Academy

73. Students on these programmes should contact studentfunding@dmu.ac.uk for more detailed information and advice in regards to your course specific liability dates/policy.

74. Under the agreement taken out with the Student Loans Company students agree to notify them if their circumstances change in any way that might affect their entitlement to financial support. If students do not do this, they may not receive any further payments, and may have to repay the financial support already received. Students must notify ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ of these changes too, so that ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥ can provide the appropriate notification to the Student Loans Company – please email studentfunding@dmu.ac.uk with details of the change. Changes in circumstances that may affect entitlement to support include but are not limited to (please refer to the agreement for full details):

• non-attendance
• change in award aim
• change of mode (i.e. full-time to part-time)
• change in the number of modules studied
• a leave of absence
• a withdrawal
• receipt of additional funding such as Research Council Funding or NHS funding (if applicable)
• change in study intensity (programme end date is extended)
• change in end date

75. Where students have a part-time mode of attendance and are studying a reduced number of credits or are on a programme of study made up of individual modules students will be liable for their total tuition fee for the modules they are registered on at that point from the start date of their module/programme/first day of term. Please note: this is subject to the 14 days (10 working days) "cooling off" period available to students in the first year of a new programme (not including internal transfers between programmes). A new programme (and therefore the cooling off period) is defined by a new application to ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥, resulting in a new registration.

76. Where a student withdraws or takes a leave of absence from their studies during the academic year they will only be charged for the modules they have started/are currently running. Any subsequent modules that have not been started/are not running will not be charged for.

Please note: this is subject to the 14 days (10 working days) "cooling off" period available to students in the first year of a new programme (not including internal transfers between programmes). A new programme (and therefore the cooling off period) is defined by a new application to ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥, resulting in a new registration.

78. Where a student withdraws or takes a leave of absence from their studies during the academic year they will only be charged for the modules they have started/are currently running. Any subsequent modules that have not been started/are not running will not be charged for.

79. Where it has been agreed that students can study part-time on a full-time course (usually studying one level across two academic years) due to medical reasons or a disability, students will be liable for fees equally split across both years. It is acknowledged that Student Loans Company policy will provide payment of a full tuition fee loan in the second of the two years. Students are required to formally agree this mode of attendance with their Faculty and the Disability Advice and Support team at ÃÛÌÒÖ±²¥, in order that this can be accurately reflected on the student’s record and the Student Loans Company are notified.
