Consequences of failing to meet bursary conditions:

If a self-funded student does not meet the bursary conditions for the academic year, the University can:

• Add any bursary owed by the self-funded student to their tuition fees for the following academic year.

What happens to my Bursary entitlement if I permanently withdraw from the Programme due to Extenuating Circumstances?

If you intend to permanently withdraw from the Programme due to Extenuating Circumstances (set out below) which are accepted by the University, you or your parent or guardian (on your behalf) will need to promptly inform the Programme Leader so that the University can assess your Bursary entitlement and the tuition fees to be claimed and retained by the University. The University will claim and retain its tuition fee for your enrolment on the Programme up to the date of your withdrawal from the Programme.

If you permanently withdraw from the Programme due to Extenuating Circumstances which is accepted by the University, you will not be required to refund the University the Bursary deducted (at the outset) from your tuition fees.

“Extenuating Circumstances” means you have permanently withdrawn from the Programme due to your illness or injury or valid medical reasons, or bereavement or illness or injury of your immediate family member (parents, siblings, spouse or children), or an emergency or crisis has occurred that prevents you from completing the Programme.

You will need to provide the University with medical certificates or documentary evidence to support any claim for Extenuating Circumstances relating to the Bursary.

The assessment of any Extenuating Circumstances including the tuition fee amounts to be claimed and retained by the University, will be undertaken by the University and the University’s decision will be final and binding.

If you withdraw from the Programme for reasons other than Extenuating Circumstances, the terms and conditions set out in Section 3 (above) will apply. The University may at any time and for any reason, with notice to you, change the Bursary amount(s) and Bursary Conditions.
