Retaking in attendance
You may be retaking all or part of an academic year. Normally you will pay the tuition fee of the new cohort you are joining in your retake year. However, if you are retaking due to pregnancy or disability, instead you would normally be allowed to pay the same rate of tuition fee that you paid in your previous academic year, plus the annual inflationary fee increase. The amount of this increase is confirmed by the Fees Office each June.
Resitting out of Attendance
You do not usually have to pay tuition fees during your period out of attendance and there are no resit fees.
