Students studying on a visa
An international student studying on a
student visa must be studying on a full-time
programme. It is the student’s responsibility
to ensure that he or she is in possession of
an appropriate and valid visa. Details of fees
payable to the UK government for processing
extensions to visas are available at www.gov.
uk/government/organisations/uk-visas-and-
immigration
Once you have paid your deposit and met
all your offer conditions, please contact the
International Office and we will assist you
in obtaining a Confirmation Acceptance of
Studies. Please ensure that you include your
full name, date of birth and student reference
number in all communications.
Policy on deposits
Deposits paid to the university are usually
non-refundable, except in the following
circumstances:
• The student is subject to a refused UK
student visa application (see below).
• The student does not meet the
academic conditions of their offer.
• You have extenuating circumstances
which are accepted by the university.
• The university is unable to issue a CAS
to a student who requires a Tier 4 visa.
5
A deposit will be held for a maximum of
2 years, during which time the student is
expected to register with the university
or provide evidence that one of the
circumstances listed above applies. In the
event that a student defers their study to a
later academic session, the deposit may be
transferred to the new intake.
After 2 years, the deposit will be non-
transferrable and non-refundable.
Deposits (and any tuition fees paid in excess
of this) will be refunded in the event that an
application for a UK student visa is refused
and:
• the student has not yet started their
programme of study.
• the visa application was submitted
after the deposit was paid and applies
to the same academic year as the
unconditional offer.
• the visa application was made using
an offer letter or CAS issued by the
University of Greenwich.
• the student provides the university with
a full copy of the visa refusal letter.
• all reasonable steps have been taken,
where applicable, to overturn the
refusal decision.
• the refusal was not the result of a
foreseeable error on behalf of the
student of their agent.
• the refusal did not result from
fraudulent or misleading information
submitted by the student on their agent.
Students whose visas are refused after
they have registered with the university and
commenced their programme of study will
be considered as withdrawn and subject to
a refund in accordance with the withdrawal
policy as outlined below.
Where a refund is applicable due to a visa
refusal, the university will normally charge an
administration fee of £250, to be deducted
from the balance to be refunded. For further
details, please visit - https://docs.gre.ac.uk/
rep/sas/charging-and-refund-policy
Students withdrawal,
interruption, deferral or
non-registration
Where a student withdraws from a
programme, the deposit is not refundable.
Any monies due to be refunded will be
returned to the student’s home country.
A student’s withdrawal must conform to the
university’s withdrawal policy.
Requests for a student to defer or interrupt
his or her studies will only be allowed in
exceptional circumstances and must conform
to university policy.
The university will notify UK Visa &
Immigration when a student withdraws,
interrupts or defers from the study.
For more on withdrawal and interruption
of studies, see gre.ac.uk/student-services/
support/withdrawal-and-interrupt/
interrupting
Failure to pay fees
Registration for continuing students is
dependent on the previous year’s tuition
fees being paid in full. The student who have
fees outstanding will become subject to the
university policy for non-payment of tuition
fees. You won’t be able to, for example,
submit work, receive your award certificate,
attend your graduation ceremony or re-
register on subsequent years of study or a
new programme at the university.
Resitting and resubmission
Where a student needs to retake a course,
a pro rata tuition charge will be payable
based on the number of credits studied.
Students who repeat or interrupt will pay the
published annual fee applicable for the year
of re-entry.

Note
Unless arrangements, as set out in this
leaflet are agreed at registration, you will
be unable to register. Should you have any
queries or problems regarding your fees,
please contact your local Student Centre or
the International Office.
Students starting programmes in subsequent
years will pay the published fee for new
entrants to the relevant academic year
and will come under a different set of
arrangements to those advised here. The
university will endeavour to minimise any
increases.
The fees for any new programmes will be
determined after the validation. Tuition
fees are subject to an annual fee setting
exercise and will rise annually by no more
than RPI- X + 3% (Retail Price Index excluding
mortgage interest payments +3%). We would
only consider an increase to the fee rate for
continuing students to reflect the increased
cost of delivering the course in subsequent
years. This does not apply to students
studying in the Medway School of Pharmacy,
whom should contact the International
Office.
Any fee rate increase would be considered
on the basis that it was needed to reflect the
increased cost of delivering the programme in
subsequent years.
