Paying your fees

Please make your cheque payable to 'The University of Liverpool'. Retirement pensioners and those on benefit are entitled to a reduction and should pay the fee shown in brackets.

Weekend courses

Fees for courses held at weekends include an element for light refreshments during morning and afternoon breaks. Lunch breaks normally run from approximately 1-2pm, though this may vary; many people like to bring packed lunches and there will be facilities for making hot drinks. Advance enrolment is essential for weekend courses.

Accreditation

Some of the courses (indicated on the programme) are accredited. This means that credits are available, at the same level as the first year of a university degree. To obtain credits, it is necessary to do assessed work, normally essays or assignments. Credits can be put towards a university Certificate or Diploma. Taking credits can also be a good introduction to Higher Education, particularly for people who have been out of formal education for some time, and may make it easier to gain access to part time Higher Education on the island. Credits also provide evidence of educational achievement to an employer, and can form part of a record of personal and professional development. If you are interested in taking credits, please contact Helen Kneale, the Course Organiser, for more information.

Course Cancellation: if it is for any reason necessary to cancel or re-arrange a course, for example as a result of a lecturer being ill or bad weather, attempts will be made to contact all students enrolled on the course and to announce any cancellations or changes on Manx Radio.

Please note that although the University of Liverpool does its best to carry out the programme, sometimes circumstances beyond its control mean that courses might be subject to change.
