Fees Assessment
The Fee regime for courses studied at HE level is different from the Fee regime for courses studied at HE level.
It is very important that applicants applying for HE courses are assessed by the Admissions Office so that the fee assessment is the correct one for their course level.
Please check with the Admissions Office if you are not sure of the correct procedure.

Waiting Lists
1st September – 30th June
If you have made all the offers for your course but still have applications awaiting a decision, please note that it is not possible to hold applicants on a waiting list during the ‘live’ application cycle. If you are not able to offer a place then the application must be rejected to enable the applicant to accept/decline other offers.
July, August and September
If applicants, eligible for clearing, are contacting you in relation to a place buy you are still awaiting results for offers already made then it is possible to place applicants onto a waiting list. Please be very clear to applicants as to how realistic their chances are of obtaining a place.
