Your Contact Details

Your mobile number and email address will be used to contact you with any additional information or important updates, e.g., cancellation of class.

If you have not provided these details or need them updated, please email the Part-Time Admissions team.

Payment of course fees

You will be responsible for payment of course fees and other costs, such as exam fees, whether you are self-financing, your employer/sponsor is paying, or you are applying to SAAS.

If another organisation has agreed to pay your fees, but then does not do so, you will become liable to pay. This also applies if you tell us that you have applied for funding (for example, SAAS Part-Time Fee Grant), but you do not complete your application or if your application is later refused.

The fee (including exam fees) is shown on the course information page on the website.

Fee Waivers

The college may offer a fee waiver if you receive certain benefits or are on a low income. Not all courses offer fee waivers, and for those that do have fee waivers, places are limited. Fee waiver applications will be assessed in date order.

If you have a fee waiver place, you should complete a Fee Waiver Form.

More information is available from the Finance team.

Part-Time Fee Grant

If you’re studying at least 30credits at undergraduate level and your personal income is £25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a Part-Time Fee Grant.

The grant amount varies based on the number of SCQF credits and the qualification you are studying.

For further information and eligibility, please check the SAAS website.

Employer or Sponsor

If your employer or sponsor is paying the fees, you should complete a Company Authorisation Form, which should be returned to the Finance team.

Timescale for Payment of course fees

If you have accepted an offer, the college will be in contact in April to confirm payment arrangements (exceptions: Engineering and City Enterprises teams, which will contact their students directly).

  • Courses that have a fee under £200: fees need to be paid in full.
  • Courses that have a fee over £200: students can arrange a payment plan with the Finance team. A minimum £200 deposit must be paid by the deadlines below, with the full balance paid by December.

Failure to make a payment or to set up a payment plan by the dates below will result in your offer being cancelled.

  • Offer made before 11th of May: payment of fees or payment plan must be made by 21st May
  • Offer made after 11th of May payment of fees or payment plan must be made within 4 weeks from the date of your offer.
  • Offer of a place after 03rd of August: payment of fees or payment plan must be made by the course start date.

Withdrawals and Refunds

The college charges a non-refundable administration fee of 20% of the course fee if you choose to withdraw from the class before it commences. If you choose to withdraw once a course has commenced, then no refunds are available. Transfers from one course to another course or from one block to the next block for the same course are generally treated as a withdrawal.

Cancellations

All classes are subject to sufficient numbers of students enrolling. We’ll let you know as soon as possible if the course has to be cancelled, and we will use your email and telephone details to contact you. If a class is cancelled, your fee will be refunded in full.

Under 16’s

If you are under 16 you should have received the Parent/Guardian Consent Form which you must complete. Your parent/guardian must sign the form, and this must be returned to: ptadmissions@cityofglasgowcollege.ac.uk

We are unable to enrol children or young adults onto their course without this information. Please contact the Part-Time Admissions team if you require a form.

International Students

Any prospective student who has not been resident in the UK for the last three years will be required to pay course fees at a higher rate. For more details, contact the Finance team.

Learning Support

The Learning Support team provides support to students with a disability or health condition or an additional support need (ASN) such as dyslexia, autism or mental health issues.

It is important to tell us about your support needs as soon as possible to give us time to put your support in place.

Once we have your details, we will invite you to an assessment meeting to agree on what support you need.
