Fee Assessment Questionnaire Please complete the following form to help us assess your fee status. It should be returned to studentfinance@swansea.ac.uk or via mail to: Student Records, Swansea University, Singleton Park, Swansea SA2 8PP. UK government legislation allows publicly funded educational institutions to charge overseas student fees to international students unless they fulfil certain residence and immigration status requirements. If you meet the residence and immigration status requirements you will be charged a lower home student rate of fee and may be able to obtain an award from your local education authority to help pay all or part of the fee. Your fee status is dependent upon meeting the residency and immigration criteria set out in The Student Fees (Qualifying Courses and Persons) (Wales) Regulations 2011, as amended.
