If you are a sponsored student and are having your fees paid by a third party e.g. employer or scholarship you must bring with you a letter from your sponsor confirming payment of your tuition fees. If you do not produce this, then you will remain liable for the course fees.
*Please note, if you are having problems with your student funding and wish the Student Funding Advisor to contact Student Finance England on your behalf, you will need to set up "Third Party Consent to Share"
This means that an advisor from the university can speak to Student Finance England regarding your application for student funding on your behalf, without the need for you to be present, to facilitate this process you must first contact Student Finance England and give permission for your information to be shared with a third party.
To set up Third Party Consent to Share*:
Contact Student Finance England: 0845 300 5090
Request to set up "Third Party Consent to Share"
Create your own "Consent Password"
Ask that "Consent to Share" be given to "the advisory team at my university"
You will then need to notify the Student Funding Advisor of your Customer Reference Number, chosen "Consent Password" and student details, contact:
Ms Karen Bentley, Student Funding Advisor
Tel: 01204 903497
Email: studentfunding@bolton.ac.uk|
*Third Party Consent to Share is not consent to share for bursary and scholarship purposes
