Section 6: Declaration
6 (a)
I declare that the information I have given is both true and correct. I understand that giving inaccurate or false information, or
submitting false or fraudulent documentation or withholding relevant information will affect my ability to enrol or remain on a
course of study at the University. I also understand that the University may require further documentary evidence to verify this
information and that failure to produce this (or any of the evidence that is listed under Required Documentation listed under the
relevant sections above) may result in me being charged Overseas fees. I also understand that the University is unable to accept
responsibility for any original documents submitted with this questionnaire. I agree to pay fees at the advised rate on an annual
basis, subject to increase, for the duration of the course and accept that my fee status is based upon the eligibility criteria for Home
student status as outlined on the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) website. I understand that this status cannot
be amended part way through my course unless I meet the eligibility criteria set out by the UKCISA regulations. However, I
understand that if it transpires that I do hold an Equivalent or Lower Qualification (ELQ) that was not declared on this questionnaire,
under question 1(e), this may affect my fee status and I may be liable to pay an increased amount in tuition fees.
I also confirm that I have read the Question and Answer section at the back of this questionnaire.

2015 Fee Status Questionnaire

Question & Answer Section
Please keep these

pages as they are for
your reference
What is fee status & why have I been asked to complete this questionnaire?
Kingston University is legally required to assess all applicants their fee status, which is the process where we determine whether they will
be charged Home, Overseas or Islands tuition fees in accordance with the provisions of the Education (Fees and Awards) Regulations
1997 (including amendments). All students regardless of whether they are being sponsored by their employer, are receiving a student
loan through Student Finance England, are funding their studies independently or are an Exchange/Erasmus/Returning student, are
required to undergo this process as we as an institution have to ensure we hold accurate, up to date information about all of our
students. This questionnaire allows us to obtain all the necessary information we require to be in a position to make this assessment.
Please note that you will not be permitted to enrol onto your course at the University until your fee status has been confirmed.
I have already completed the Your Fee Status task on my OSIS account and I am a UK Citizen. Do I still need to
complete this questionnaire or is it just for non-UK Citizens?
If you have been instructed to complete this questionnaire, we would kindly request that you do so at your earliest convenience as this
document goes into further detail and allows further information to be obtained than the Your Fee Status task and will enable your status
to be confirmed accordingly. This questionnaire is designed for all applicants regardless of their nationality, as the University legally must
determine the fee status classification for all of its students whom intend to enrol with us.
What is a Home Fees Payer?
A Home fee payer is the term used to describe a student who is charged the UK/EU rate of tuition fees, which is usually at a lower rate
compared to the Overseas amount. The term Home has no bearing on your accommodation preference (whether you will be staying in
halls of residence, private rented accommodation or living at a parental home). Our Accommodation team will contact you separately with
details of this in due course.
What is an Overseas Fees Payer?
An Overseas fees payer is a student who does not fulfil the eligibility criteria for Home status and as a result, is normally charged a
higher rate of tuition fees. If you require a Tier 4 (student) visa to study in the UK, you will have to be categorised as an Overseas student.
What is an Islands Fees Payer?
An Islands fee payer is a Channel Island or Isle of Man, Alderney, Sark or Herm Citizen. An agreement between Universities in the UK and
Islands governments means that where Islands students are entitled to financial support from their Island government, institutions levy
an agreed rate of fee, paid by their island government.
What is ELQ & what does it mean in terms of my fee status?
Equivalent or Lower Qualification (ELQ) is the classification that is used for students whom have been accepted to study another course at
the same or lower level than the highest qualification they already hold. Students wanting to study an ELQ will not receive financial
support from the government or university bursaries. At the same time, the government will not provide funding to universities for these
students. As a result, for applicants studying an ELQ at Kingston University, the tuition fees may be higher than for non-ELQ applicants.
Further information regarding about whom will be subject to ELQ fee assessments can be found on the Higher Education Funding Council
for England (HEFCE) website at: www.hefce.ac.uk/whatwedo/lt/howfund/elqs/
How much are my tuition fees & how do I pay them?
Please note that the Fee Status Team only assesses whether you will be classified as a Home/EU, Overseas or Islands Fee Payer. We do
not handle any payments to the University & cannot inform you of whether payments have been received or issue any invoices to
reflect this. If you would like to know how much you will need to pay for your course or how you can pay your tuition fees please contact
our Credit Control department on 020 8328 7005 or visit:
(for Undergraduate students): http://www.kingston.ac.uk/undergraduate/fees-and-funding
(for Postgraduate students): http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate/fees-and-funding
What criteria does Kingston University use for fee status?
The criteria used for fee status assessments are explained on the UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) website below
whom, are a separate organisation to Kingston. The University abides by the criteria for eligibility for Home student fee status as
explained on this website without exception so that we can treat all students equally with a fully consistent approach. Further information
can be found on the UKCISA website at: http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/International-Students/Fees--finance/Home-or-Overseas-fees/EnglandHigher-Education/Who-is-eligible-for-Home-fees/
Please note that this criteria is applied at time of assessment without exception, and should there be any subsequent change in the fee
regulations as stated by UKCISA, these are implemented by the University immediately for any future assessment. These however, will not
affect any previous assessment conducted by Kingston unless explicitly stated by UKCISA. HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for
England) regularly audits all Universities in the UK to ensure applicants are being fairly and accurately assessed against this criteria.
Whom do I talk to about Student Finance?

Please note that the Fee Status Team do not work in conjunction with Student Finance. We are two different organisations, whom
follow two different sets of eligibility criteria. For funding opportunities, as well as student loan enquiries, please contact our
Student Funds Service at: studentfunding@kingston.ac.uk . For information on scholarships please visit:

I do not have a Passport or my Passport has expired, what document(s) should I submit?
If you do not have a Passport and you are a British Citizen or you have an expired British passport and you were born in the UK, you can
submit a copy of your full Birth Certificate AND some form of photo ID (e.g. driving licence, college/employment ID card)
If you have submitted your Passport to the Home Office you must submit copies of any UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) or Home Office
correspondence you have received.
What happens to the copy of my Passport I have to submit?
Once you submit a copy of your Passport to the University it will be uploaded to your secure student record. No other copies are retained
by the University unless you are having a DBS check completed. Only selected staff at the University are given access to view your Passport
against your student record.
I have a different name to the one on my Passport/relevant ID.
If you have recently married or had a civil partnership and changed your name, but have your maiden name on your Passport, you must
submit a copy of your Marriage/Civil Partnership Certificate. If you have changed your name by Deed Poll, you must submit a copy of your
change of name certificate
What happens if I do not complete this questionnaire?
If you fail to complete this questionnaire, or do not produce copies of the required documents as outlined, you may either be defaulted to
that of an Overseas fees payer and could therefore be charged higher fees or you may not be permitted to enrol onto your course. If your
fee status is not confirmed following the final late enrolment event with the University, your application may be withdrawn and as a
consequence, you will have to re-apply to begin the programme the following academic year. Furthermore, you may be asked to provide
additional documentation to support any answers you give and the University may on occasion request to see originals. Please do not
send original documents to aid your fee status unless requested by the Fee Status Team. We cannot accept responsibility for these
documents.
Can my fee status change part way through my course?
If you have been categorised as an Overseas fee payer, you may become eligible for Home fees part way through your course if you
already meet the three year residency condition on the first day of the first academic year of your course and you become one of the
following:
an EU national or the relevant family member of an EU national
an EEA or Swiss migrant worker or the relevant family member of such a person
a refugee or person with Humanitarian Protection after an asylum application
the child of a Swiss national
the child of a Turkish worker in the UK
Your Fee status cannot change part way through your course if you are just granted Indefinite Leave to Remain alone.
I have additional questions, whom should I contact?
If you have any additional questions that have not been covered in this section, please contact feestatus@kingston.ac.uk
We also encourage you to have a look at the fee regulations, which can be found on the UKCISA website at:
http://www.ukcisa.org.uk/International-Students/Fees--finance/Home-or-Overseas-fees/England-Higher-Education/Who-is-eligible-forHome-fees/
Please note that UKCISA are a separate organisation from Kingston and have no bearing on making your actual assessment.
