6.1 Sponsor Information
If your employer, a government agency or any other organisation apart from the Student Loans Company is paying your fees, you must provide a letter to the Fees Office in advance of registration (Fees office contact details available here) in order for your account to be updated. You will not be able to complete registration until this letter is received and processed. If you are enrolling within the University and are only providing a letter on the day of registration, please contact a member of Fees staff at the central enrolment area.
The sponsor letter must detail your student ID number, the value of the sponsorship, course title and a name and address we can send an invoice to. If your sponsor requires a purchase order number to be quoted on the invoice, this should be included in the letter. A sponsor letter is required each academic year even if your sponsor details have not changed. If your sponsor is only part paying your fees, you will be required to pay any personal contribution or else set up an instalment plan at registration.
NB Please DO NOT send you sponsor letters to the Blackboard Support e-mail. They MUST be sent to the Fees Office.
