Hi there, it may be due to the high traffic. If you want to try this again in a few hours it should work for you then. Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason, I’m now having an issue on the Tuition fee page.

According to SFE my course will cost £5760 per year. But UCAS states £9535.

When entering the amount as £9535 I get this message: “Error: The amount of tuition fee you've entered is more than the £5,760 your course normally costs.”

Do you have any guidance on what I should do with this page?

Thanks!

Thank you. If it's a Foundation Year then this is because of the new cap for Classroom based foundation courses. From 25/26, HEP’s in England with foundation year courses in classroom-based subjects can only charge the lower fee of up to £5,760 for the foundation year. So that's why the amount would be showing when you try to change this. Thanks, Jason

You're welcome. I've added some information related to this below as it's a new process for 25/26 onwards
