Is there a deadline for submitting my statutory declaration?

The first-year Fees Free policy has ended. We will not accept any statutory declarations submitted after 31 December 2025. If you meet the eligibility criteria and have not yet submitted your statutory declaration, please do so as soon as possible.

It’s important that you confirm your eligibility status for the calendar year that you start Fees Free eligible study or training.

You need to submit your statutory declaration within 12 months of the start date of your first Fees Free eligible course or programme to receive payment for your fees.

If you don’t submit your statutory declaration within 12 months of the start date of your first eligible course or programme, any eligible study or training you did will still count as you ‘using’ Fees Free, but we may not be able to cover the fees.
