If a student withdraws from their course during the first term they are responsible for 25% of their fees, if they withdraw during the second term they are responsible for 50% of their fees and if they withdraw during the third term they are responsible for 100% of their fees. Refunds will be given for any difference between these amounts and the original invoice amount. Please note, your statutory rights are not affected.

Most full-time students are not entitled to income-related benefits. However, certain students (including single parents, student couples with dependent children, and some disabled students) may be eligible to claim income-related benefits, but your income, (including certain types of student finance) will be taken into account.
If you receive income-related benefits (including Universal Credit, Income Support, Jobseekers Allowance, Employment & Support Allowance or Housing Benefit) you must tell your local Jobcentre Plus office and your local authorityʼs housing benefit section if you take a full-time course as this may affect your benefits.
If you have a partner who is not a student and is eligible for any of the income-related benefits, they can claim those benefits for both of you. Your income, including certain types of student finance, will be taken into account when your partner’s entitlement to any income related benefits is assessed.
The following links to the income-based benefit’s eligibility pages on the www.gov.uk website may also be useful:

A full Council Tax bill is based on two adults living in a household. Full-time students are not ‘counted’ towards this number. If there are fewer than two in the household, you may be eligible for a discount. To apply you need to take a certificate from the University Centre Grimsby (available after the start of the programme to your local council tax office). Visit the students records desk to request your certificate.

Tuition Fee Loan
Part-time students can apply for a tuition fee loan to cover their tuition cost. To qualify, you must complete a minimum of 25% of the equivalent full time course load per year. You will not start paying it back until you are earning over £25,000. Maintenance loans are available for some part-time students depending on course intensity, household income and where you live and study.
Loan Repayment
You’ll be due to start repaying your loan the April four years after the start of your course or the April after you leave your course, whichever comes first, but you’ll only start making repayments when your income is over £25,000 per year.
