Fee Classification Questionnaire Guidance r fee status is determined by reference to your nationality, country of domicile and other factors as defined in the UK Fees Regulations, including your parents or spouse/civil partner s status. A glossary of terms can be found on this page. Please print this form and complete it using BLOCK CAPITAL letters. Then scan the form back into a computer along with any relevant evidence and upload this to your application tracker. Personal information Surname/Family name UCAS number (if applicable) Forename(s) Bath Applicant ID number All applicants must complete section A, plus any sections that apply from B to E, dependent upon your residency in the past three years. Section F is available for you to supply any additional information that may be relevant to your fee classification. The section notes stipulate which documents are acceptable for each question. Please note that failure to fully complete the required sections and/or supply the correct documents may delay the decision made on your application or may lead to you being incorrectly classified. Each section has spaces for information regarding yourself, your spouse/civil partner (where applicable) and your parents. There is no need to duplicate information e.g. if both your parents live at the same address, you may simply add as previous. Information regarding your spouse/civil partner and parents is requested because some types of eligibility for home fee status are affected by your family relationships, e.g. the children of EU nationals who are not themselves EU nationals, or the spouses/civil partners of asylum seekers who have been awarded refugee status. Classification as a Home student for the purposes of fee payment depends on qualifying under the Main Formula for UK residence, or on inclusion in one of ten limited categories. For information regarding this please see the UKCISA website at www.ukcisa.org.uk. *Please note that you MUST supply a copy of your passport picture page and any relevant visas or home office documents. If your fee status is dependent upon your spouse/civil partner or parent(s), you must also provide copies of their documents as well.
