Fee Status Assessment Questionnaire
United Kingdom Government legislation permits publicly funded universities to charge ‘overseas’ student tuition fees to international students unless they fulfil certain residence and immigration status requirements. If you meet the residence and immigration status requirements you will be charged a lower ‘home’ student tuition fee. The purpose of this questionnaire is to enable us to accurately assess your status for fee payment purposes. Please answer all questions as fully as possible and provide documentary evidence where requested. Please send copies of documents and NOT originals as we cannot return documents to you. Pease note that the information provided will be used only to assess your fee status and this form does not constitute an offer of a place at Birmingham City University.
