Question about "Long Residence" and changing fee status after the course has started

Changes to fee status after the start of the course are generally due to granting of ILR.
Residency categories are based on your residency at the start of the course and so wont change.

I would recommend that you call ukcisa. They will be able to talk through your residency and immigration status and advise you. I suspect that you will need to take a gap year if you hope to be classed as eligible to pay home fees

I just got an email from Bath saying that if I choose deferred entry, then I will have a "Home" fee status. I will call UKCISA before I accept their offer.

Thank you.

Good luck

That’s a positive result from Bath 👍

Bit of an urgent question, but I only realised this now. This is what Bath said in their email:

"We have now deferred your application 2021 and subsequently assessed that you will pay Home fees for 2021. Please note if you un-defer your application will be liable for International feels."

What do I do now? I went on UCAS track and saw no updates, the start date on their offer on UCAS is still Sep 2020. Do I still accept this offer, or will I be liable for international fees if I accept this offer now? If I don't accept the offer before 6 pm tomorrow does that decline my deferred application as well?

Accept the offer on Track

It's still possible to switch your replies after accepting an offer - it's likely that it is just taking a couple of days for Bath to update the details on Track (or they might be waiting until you accept - there's a few ways to make the change to year and one of the easiest is once an application is firm). But if for any reason things aren't right then you still have the option to change your mind. You have confirmation in writing that they'll amend your year of entry and fee status.

You aren't liable for ANY fees until you complete online enrolment/registration (usually in August before you start your course)
