Your Scholarship should be automatically applied to your fees, however, if you believe that you haven't received the correct EU Scholarship discount, please contact Student Services and we will be able to help you. Please refer to the Tuition Fee Operational Guidelines for more information.
CPD students are charged for the credits they are taking in an academic year. The cost of the credits will be pro-rated according to the full-time fee applicable for that course in that academic year and rounded up to the nearest £5. For further information please refer to the Tuition Fee Operational Guidelines.
Students who change mode from full-time/part-time to CPD will have their fees adjusted so they are charged for the credits they are taking per academic year. Any payments already received by the University above the adjusted fee will be held as credit on the students’ account.
If you have an enquiry relating to your CPD fees, please contact Student Services and we will be able to help you.
If you have been advised to repeat attendance for previously taken modules, you will be charged according to the number of modular credits you are repeating in that year. This is calculated on a pro rata basis, using the following calculation:
Number of credits taken x applicable Full-time Fee for that Academic Year

Full credit load
(120 UG or 180 PG)
If you take any additional new units on an extracurricular or option basis during your repeat year, you will also be charged on a pro-rata credit basis for these units.
If you believe that you haven't been charged the correct repeat fees, please contact Student Services and we will be able to help you.
If you would like to understand the implication of repeating a year on your Student Finance, please refer to this page or for further advice contact Money Matters.
From 2023/24 onwards there will not be a tuition fee liability associated with the resitting assessments without attendance. Repeating modules with attendance still incurs a fee.
Please note that if you are only resitting exams, you will not be entitled to any Student Finance funding as you will not be in attendance. If you would like to understand the implication of resitting a year on your future Student Finance funding entitlement, please contact Money Matters.
Undergraduate fees for a student studying for a year abroad or for a year in industry are set as a percentage of the full-time fees applicable in that year. To understand your fees please refer to the Tuition Fee Operational Guidelines.
Turing Students
Although your fees will appear in Campus Connect you will be covered under the Turing scheme and are not liable for any fees.
International Exchange Students
Your fees will appear on Campus Connect, however, there is often a partnership agreement with the home institution, so you may not be charged directly. If you are liable for any fees, this will be shown on your Offer letter.
Study Abroad Students
Students who come to study at Royal Holloway outside of either the Turing or International Exchange agreements are classed as Study Abroad students. Fees will be charged as set out in the Tuition Fee Operational Guidelines.
If you withdraw from your studies you are liable to pay fees for the period that you have been registered before withdrawal. Your fee liability is assessed on the date of withdrawal and your fee status.
Once you have decided that you definitely want to withdraw from your programme of study at Royal Holloway, you must contact your School to arrange an appointment with your Personal Advisor, Academic Co-ordinator or Head of Department to discuss the details of your withdrawal.
If you are an undergraduate student with a ‘Home’ UK/EU fee status and are eligible for funding via Student Finance, please click here for more information on how withdrawing will impact your funding entitlement. You must also notify Student Finance as soon as you withdraw, in order that you can stop your student finance payment; this will reduce any repayments that you need to make. Find out further information.
If you need to interrupt your studies, you are liable to pay fees for the period that you have been registered before interrupting. Your fee liability is assessed on the date that you interrupt and your fee status.
For students who are not funded by the SLC, when you interrupt your studies, an appropriate credit will be applied to your account in the years that you interrupt and return if required so that you only pay for the time that you are registered to study.
Please note that when you interrupt, any monies paid will be held on the account until you return or withdraw from your studies.
If you receive Student Finance and interrupt during an academic year, we will notify them of your change in circumstance and fee liability. You will need to reapply for funding if you return to your studies in a new academic year. Your funding will restart automatically if you return in the same academic year. To find out more about the impact of interruption on your future eligibility for funding, please contact Money Matters.
Please click here for forms and guidance on changing your study details. Please note that there are different forms depending on whether or not you are funded by the SLC.
If you decide to withdraw after a period of interruption and:
- are self-funded, you will need to contact Student Fees to request a refund if there is a remaining balance.
- are funded by the SLC, we will contact them and update your record with them to reflect the actual balance owed.
For further detail on tuition fees and the tuition fee liability dates for this academic year, please refer to the Tuition Fee Operational Guidelines.
