Some new students may not have received their Financial Notification at the time of enrolment. If this applies to you the University will ask you to confirm how much tuition fee loan you have applied for (or intend to apply for). Any amount you do not borrow will be payable at enrolment.

Even if you are granted the maximum level of Part-Time Fee Grant it will not cover the total cost of your yearly tuition fees.
