A sponsor is paying my tuition fees
If your employer/government or other sponsor is paying your tuition fees, you must bring a letter from your sponsor (on headed paper) to confirm this when you come to enrol. If you are an existing student, please bring this letter to Katrina Evenett, Rhianne Anderson, Emily Bryan or Sunny Mehan in the Finance Office, First Floor, The Link. The letter should include the period for which the sponsor will pay your tuition fees (i.e. for the academic year only, or for the duration of the course).
