Tuition Fees for Short Full-time NC/NQ (Non-advanced) Courses

National fee waiver

Short full-time NC/NQ (non-advanced) courses normally last for 18 or 19 weeks.

Most students on short full-time NC/NQ (non-advanced) courses who are ordinarily resident in Scotland, or are a refugee resident in Scotland before the course starts, will have their fees paid direct to the college by the Scottish Funding Council (SFC). This is called fee-waiver. Please note that Asylum Seekers cannot get fee-waiver for short full-time courses.

What do I need to do?

  • If you meet residency criteria and you are ordinarily resident in Scotland, you don’t need to do anything else about tuition fees.
  • You may be asked to upload images of your residency/immigration documents or to bring them with you if you are enrolling in person.

  

Self-financing

If you do not qualify for national fee-waiver, usually due to residency issues, you are liable for the payment of fees and these fees must be paid to the College in full prior to the start date of the course.

How much will I pay?

  • This will depend on your residency status. See table below.

What do I need to do?

  • When you receive an invitation to enrol, please contact finance@glasgowclyde.ac.uk to pay for your course.
  • Be prepared to pay for the course in full prior to the course start date.
  • The course can be paid by monthly instalments up to 3 months prior to your course start date (only if you have a confirmed place on the course). The final instalment must be paid prior to the course start date. You are responsible for setting up a standing order with your bank to pay for your fees.
  • Any outstanding fees must be paid prior to your course start date.

 

Fees table

Short Full time NQ Tuition Fees Table 2021-2022Please note all fees listed here are subject to change if there are changes to relevant Scottish or UK legislation or SFC guidance.

 

Non-payment of fees

Failure to ensure full and correct payment of fees may result in you being asked to withdraw from the course and certification for your course may be withheld. You will still be liable to pay any outstanding fees.

 

Withdrawn students

For those students who pay for their tuition, if you withdraw from your course, you will be liable to pay some or all of your tuition fees. We will calculate how much you are due to pay, depending on your withdrawal date, and invoice you accordingly:

  • If you withdraw within 5 weeks of the course start date – you will not be charged for any tuition you received.
  • If you withdraw after 5 weeks – this will be calculated from day 1 of the course start date until the last date of attendance – Finance will issue an invoice to you.

 

Refunds

Requests for refunds should be submitted, in writing, to the relevant Curriculum Manager or Curriculum Assistant Principal, for consideration

In the event of a refund being processed, a £40.00 Administration Fee will apply (regardless of the value of the refund).

 

Replacement student cards

Student cards and replacement student cards are subject to access to college buildings and may not be available during COVID restrictions. A digital alternative to the physical student card is available for enrolled students at https://students.glasgowclyde.ac.uk/index.php/get-card

If you lose your student card, you can obtain a replacement for £3.00. Contact Finance to make this payment, provide a copy of your receipt to Student Enrolment and they will issue you with a new card.
