DEBT

Most students have to borrow money during their time at university, and have few difficulties controlling their borrowing and their expenditure. Sometimes, however, students borrow more than they can comfortably repay. Getting into debt can become a major problem and a source of much anxiety. If you feel you are in debt to a degree which is causing you difficulties you should discuss this with your Adviser, or the Advice and Counselling Service. It is important to resolve this issue at an early stage.

 The Advice and Counselling Service also offers preventative advice so that you can avoid your finances becoming a problem in the first place, for example checking that you are getting all the financial support you are eligible for, and helping you to plan a realistic budget.

 You are reminded that College regulations state that a student who is in debt to the College, or the University, for tuition fees or for services fundamental to your studies, such as outstanding library fines, shall not be entitled to receive examination results, to progress from one year to the next, or to receive any award of the College or University. The College reserves the right to charge an administration fee in respect of reinstating the record of any student whose registration has previously been terminated under the College's Ordinances for the non-payment of tuition fees.
