§ Chris GraylingTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what liability for tuition fees those who choose to drop out of a degree course incur; and how this money is required to be repaid. [143646]
§ Alan JohnsonWhere the student withdraws from their course and is assessed to make a private contribution towards their fees, it is for the student and the institution to determine the amount that should be paid. It is also for the institution to determine any repayment that may be due. Guidance is provided to institutions by Universities UK. There is no liability on the student to repay the tuition fee grant once it has been paid to the institution.
