Undergraduate fees

On the Provider page of CMS, you'll see an academic year specific provider fee cap for both full-time and part-time courses. We enter this fee cap for you.

You cannot enter any course fees that exceed your fee cap. The only exception is for an accelerated degree. When you enter the fee for an accelerated degree, CMS will let you add a fee of up to 1.2 times your fee cap.

At course level you can enter different fee caps for each domicile. This lets you manage fee variants. For example, Welsh and Northern Irish providers can manage their separate fee structures for students from different domiciles within one course.

By default, the system will apply the same fee rates across all domiciles. Deselect this option if you want to enter a different fee for a particular domicile.

You can also enter a course fee rate of zero for a particular year. This may be useful if you offer courses with a placement year.

You'll only need to enter one fee rate for part-time courses regardless of the duration selected. You can still enter different fee rates for each domicile if the course is split over multiple domiciles.

With the introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) from academic year 2017/18, providers that achieve TEF status can charge a higher fee amount than providers that do not.

It is at your discretion whether you apply the higher TEF fee amount to all course years for all students, or just to course year one for new students.

You can submit Fee Change of Circumstance notifications on the Student Information Service (SIS) for direct entry students who apply to a course year that has a lower fee amount than your provider fee cap.
