The 2005-2006 fee rates apply to all students (but see below note 2) who commence a new year or other period of study on or after 1 August 2005. Fees are subject to annual revision and are due in full at registration. The payment of fees is the responsibility of the student and, in the event of a student s sponsoring authority (if any) failing to make payment, the student will be held personally liable for payment. Annual, programme and course fees cover matriculation, tuition and one diet of examination. They include an element in respect of membership of University unions, sports facilities, and other student facilities and amenities. Matriculated students who are not required to pay an annual, programme or course fee should contact the Students Association about associate membership. 3
2. Full-time students domiciled, as defined by the Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS), in Scotland or in other European Union countries outside the United Kingdom, will not be required to make a personal contribution towards the costs of their annual tuition if they are studying at publicly funded institutions in Scotland for the first time. The Scottish Executive will pay all such tuition fees through SAAS. Full-time students must apply to SAAS for the payment of their tuition fees, even if they are not applying for any other means of support. Details of application procedures are available from SAAS, Gyleview House, 3 Redheughs Rigg, South Gyle, Edinburgh, EH12 9HH; telephone 0845 111 1711; website http://www.student-support-saas.gov.uk/. 3.

Withdrawal from the University: At the discretion of the University, a refund of tuition fees may be made to students who withdraw from a programme with appropriate academic approval. Normally, any fee refunded will be derived from attendance for all or part of a semester and the application of an administrative charge.

If a student withdraws during the second semester, he/she will be liable for payment of the full session fees for the programme of studies and will not be entitled to a refund.
