Loyalty Discount
The University of Kent is pleased to announce that it has decided to recognise the family and personal loyalty shown by registration on multiple degrees by siblings, children of alumni, husband and wife studying together or alumni studying for additional degrees.
A discount of 10% of the first year’s tuition fee will be allowed on registration and payment of tuition fees as set out below.
- a second or subsequent sibling(s) (brother or sister) register(s) on a privately funded degree program at Kent.
When second or subsequent sibling(s) register(s) on a privately funded, degree program at Kent, evidence of the prior (or contemporaneous) sibling’s registration will qualify the second or subsequent sibling(s) to a discount of 10% of the first years’ tuition fee. The siblings do not have to be studying at Kent at the same time. Where two or more siblings register for the first time together, the discount will be shared equally between them and will be calculated on the highest tuition fee.
- a child of an alumnus registers on a privately funded degree program at Kent. Evidence that one of the parents is an alumnus of Kent (i.e. copy of degree certificates) will qualify privately funded students to the discount of 10% of the first year’s tuition fee.
- a graduate of Kent registers on a subsequent, privately funded, degree program at Kent.
When a graduate of UKC registers on a subsequent, privately funded, degree program at Kent, evidence of the prior registration will qualify them for a 10% discount on the first year’s tuition fees. The discount is not allowable on Part I of an undergraduate degree following foundation study as the foundation year is deemed to be part of the undergraduate degree. It is also not payable for an upgrade from a MPhil to a PhD.
- Part-time students are eligible for the loyalty discount for degree courses only.
The discount is not allowable on a degree following Certificate or Diploma study. It is also not payable for changes in attendance of the same program of study. - Spouses who register for degree programs at the same time or where study overlaps, and at least one tuition fee is privately sponsored.
Evidence of the relationship will entitle one discount of 10% of the first year's tuition fees which may be payable to either the spouse, or shared equally between them. Registration must be at the same time or overlapping.
The University reserves the right to exercise its discretion in the determination of any individual case.
The discount will only be allowable on the first year of registration and on tuition fees which are privately funded and which have been paid by the due date. It is not possible for a student to qualify for more than one loyalty discount in any one year.
In order to receive any discount as set out above the student claiming the discount must complete in full and return the relevant Loyalty Discount Application Form to the University of Kent Income Office. Students must be registered on course before submitting their application form.
Credit of the discount will only be confirmed after all details have been checked against the University’s records and net tuition fees have been received in full. Due to high workloads at the start of the academic year the Loyalty Discount forms will not be processed immediately.
The University reserves the right to disallow the right to the discount if payment of tuition fees is not honoured.
