Collaborative Partners 

Off-Campus Programmes are delivered by the University or by another accredited

What does student status mean 

Your student status and the level of tuition fee that you pay is determined by your nationality 

and the country where you are ‘ordinarily resident’. 

Students are classified as either “Home”, “EU”, “Channel Islands” or “Overseas” for Tuition 

Fees and Student Financial Support Purposes. 

To qualify for Home/EU student status, the main eligibility criteria is to either have: 

• UK/EU citizenship/nationality and have been domiciled in the UK for 3 years prior to the first 

day of the first year of your academic course. (The main reason for residing in the UK must not 

have been for the purpose of full time education) or; 

• Been granted refugee status by the Government or: 

• Been granted “indefinite leave to remain”, “discretionary leave to remain” or “humanitarian 

protection” by the UK Home Office and been domiciled in the UK and Islands since having 

been granted that status or; 

• UK/EU citizenship/nationality, have been domiciled in the European Economic Area (EEA) for 

3 years prior to the first day of the first year of your academic course (the main reason for 

residing in the EEA must not have been for the purpose of full-time education). 

A detailed schedule of the categories into which students can fall, in order to be eligible for 

‘Home’ status, can be found at the following web address. 

http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/student/fees_student_support.php 

If you are classed as an “Overseas’ student at the time you apply/enrol on your 

programme, and you do not believe your student status is correct, then you will need to 

complete a fee assessment questionnaire and forward it to Student Administration. 

A decision will be made based on the information provided, and your fees will be charged 

accordingly. 

Most Home/EU undergraduate students are eligible for UK government funding to pay their 

tuition fees via a tuition fee loan, which you can take out each year through the Student Loans 


Company. You will only pay back the loan after you graduate and only when you are earning in 

excess of £21,000. 

All students, both undergraduate and postgraduate must make arrangements for the payment 

of their academic tuition fees BEFORE they are permitted to complete the enrolment process. 

Please ensure that you bring supporting documentation with you to enrolment, as laid out in 

the ‘ways to pay’ section of this guide. 

All payments must be made in Pounds Sterling (£). 

Please note that whichever payment option is taken, all tuition fees must be paid in full prior to 

graduation and/or before enrolling for the next academic year. Payment plans will be 

structured accordingly to enable this. 

Please note, all tuition fees are reviewed annually and are subject to change.

You will need to bring a sponsor letter with you to enrolment or, if you are enrolling by 

post, please enclose this with your enrolment paperwork. A sponsor letter is required for 

each academic year you enrol. 

The sponsor letter should be on letter headed paper and signed by your line 

manager/Director, addressed to the University of Lincoln. The sponsor letter should 

include your name, the academic year you are being sponsored for, ie. 2012/13, the 

programme title, and the amount. 

If your sponsor requires a purchase order or other reference number quoting on their 


invoice, this should be indicated on the letter. If you are unable to provide evidence of 

your sponsorship at the enrolment session you will be required to arrange payment of 

your own programme fees. This will only be cancelled upon receipt of a valid 

sponsorship letter. If you sponsor fails to pay their agreed contribution, the liability for 

outstanding fees will fall back to you. 

Your sponsor must be a commercial body (not a private individual such as a friend or 

relative). 

Sponsors cannot pay by instalments. 

Where a sponsor’s payment is outstanding for more than 30 days, the University 

shall have direct recourse to the student, who shall be automatically liable for any 

outstanding sum
