Money for Fees
The University of Sheffield recognises that tuition fees represent a high level of investment by students, their families and sponsors. The University provides in return for this investment:
- excellent teaching, supervision and research facilities
- superb library and information services
- computer access and services
- professional advice, information, support and
guidance services. - ...and much, much more.
We know that not everyone is in a position to make the financial investment required. We provide as much information as possible pre-arrival so that prospective students can assess their individual situation and decide whether or not they are in a position to make this investment. If funds are not available, students cannot expect to be provided with services for which payment is not made.
Fees and Funding
a. You must have all the money for your fees in place before you come.
b. You will not find funding after you arrive in UK.
c. If you don´t pay fees on time (schemes detailed in Registration: The Essential Guide 2010–11) you are in breach of the contract signed at registration. Your access to services (e.g. library, computer accounts) will be cut and you will be required to leave the University.
d. If your circumstances change in an unforeseeable way after you are fully registered, contact International Student Services to discuss your situation.
e. NB sponsors or relatives
- retiring
- withdrawing offer of funding
- having difficulty selling property/releasing investments
- taking on responsibility for other students
THESE CIRCUMSTANCES ARE NOT CONSIDERED UNFORESEEABLE
f. Immigration authorities will require universities (plus colleges, schools etc) to report on non-EEA students who:
- do not register
- transfer
- do not attend
- withdraw
- are excluded
as their student visa/leave to remain/residence permit becomes invalid at that point.
