Interrupting or withdrawing from your studies
Fees charged to registered students will be calculated based upon the date the University is formally informed of any change in registration. Students should therefore follow the University’s formal procedures for interrupting or withdrawing from study. Further information can also be found at: Interrupting or withdrawing will affect your fees 2023 (PDF).
If you are receiving maintenance payments from Student Finance, you will be contacted by Student Finance to request the return of any overpayment of your maintenance loan in line with the liability points of your withdrawal date. You are strongly advised to discuss this in detail with our Money Advice and Guidance Team at money@liverpool.ac.uk before finalising your decision to withdraw.
Repeating a year
If you need to repeat a year of study, the tuition fee charged depends on whether you are repeating with or without attendance.
If you are repeating without attendance, you will be charged a registration fee which will be £300 for the 2023/24 academic year. This can increase each academic year in line with inflation.
Please note, for 'Home' students, this mode of repetition means you would not be entitled to any funding support from Student Finance.
If you are repeating with attendance, you will be charged per 15 credit module. This amount will differ dependant upon your full programme fee. You can email feesenq@liverpool.ac.uk to obtain further details on this.
Please note, for 'Home' students, provided you have not repeated before or attended another University, you may be entitled to a 'Gift year' of funding through Student Finance if you repeat with attendance. You should contact Student Finance directly to see if you are eligible for this funding (0300 100 0607).
You will need to discuss details of your repetition with your Student Support Office. They can provide you with the relevant forms to complete and discuss in depth which options/modes of repetition are best for you.
Extending your dissertation deadline
If you are extending your dissertation deadline, then you will be charged a submission pending fee for the extended duration. The charge for this is £87.50 per quarter and up to £350 for the full 12 months for academic year 2023/24. This charge may be subject to increase each academic year.
Re-submitting your dissertation
If you've previously submitted your dissertation and wish to re-submit it then there a fee will apply. This fee will be charged in addition to the fee for extending your dissertation deadline which is highlighted above.
