Fee Status Enquiry Form
The University of Dundee, in common with other Scottish universities, charges tuition fees at a different
rate to students classified as ‘overseas’ or ‘rest of the UK’ (domiciled in England, Wales, Northern
Ireland or British Overseas Territories) for fee purposes than to those classified as ‘home’ (domiciled in
Scotland or a non-UK EU country) fee students.
DEFINITION
Eligibility for home or rest of UK fee status depends on the student meeting all of the following
immigration and residence conditions. The ‘relevant date’ is the 1 January, 1 April or 1 September
closest to the start date of the student’s university course.
Conditions:
1
SETTLED STATUS
S/he is ‘settled’ in the UK on the relevant date. Settled means ordinarily resident and
free of immigration controls (as defined by the Immigration Act 1971).
2
ORDINARY RESIDENCE
S/he has been ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK and Islands for the 3-year period before the
relevant date, apart from any temporary absences.
3
MAIN PURPOSE
S/he was not at any time during that period resident in the UK and Islands wholly or
mainly for the purpose of receiving full-time education.
Certain categories of students who do not meet all of the conditions described above may still be
charged at ‘home’, ‘rest of UK’ or EU fee rates. These categories are briefly summarised at the end of
this form (Note 1). If you believe you are in one of these excepted categories, please complete the
relevant section of the form, as follows:
Those temporarily employed outside the UK or their ordinary residence
within the UK
European Union Nationals resident in the EEA or family member of
such a person
EEA or Swiss Migrant Workers or family member of such a person
