Notes
-
Net tuition fee amount has to be submitted in pounds to the nearest whole pound.
-
This field is not required where the Student Support Number is provided as this data can be obtained from the Student Loans Company.
-
This field captures the net fee; that is the fee charged after any financial support from the provider towards fees, such as fee waivers, are taken into account. For example; a student with a GROSSFEE of £6,000 who has had a fee waiver of £1,000 should be returned as £5,000 in this field.
-
Where the entire fee is waived, a value of zero should be returned.
-
Students who do not have any financial support will have the same value returned in both GROSSFEE and NETFEE.
-
The value in this field should reflect the fee actually charged to the student for this year and not the entire course.
-
Other financial support given to the student such as bursaries, free equipment or similar should not be included in any reduction to the fee.
-
The value should not be reduced to reflect non-payment of fees.
-
If a student leaves the provider part the way through the year, the annualised amount the student would have been charged should be returned.
-
Where fees are paid in part or full on the student's behalf for example by an employer the net fee should not be reduced to reflect this.
-
This field is not required for apprenticeship students.
-
For non-standard years of engagement (i.e. where TYPEYR = 2) the full fee for the year of engagement should be returned in the year that the year of engagement commences.
