Confirmation of Attendance

Undergraduate students who qualify for the HEA Free Fees Initiative (free tuition fees) need to confirm their attendance for the academic year 2022/23.

An email will be sent to your umail account week commencing 20 February 2023 and all relevant students are asked to complete the process, using the link provided in the email.

Where students do not complete this process, UCC can only claim half (50%) tuition fees on your behalf, since you would not have indicated that you are attending for the full year. You will become liable for the remaining 50% which will be reflected on your fee account as an outstanding balance if you are still registered for Semester 2.

If you receive the email and your circumstances have changed, please refer to the table below for guidance:

Query:	What to do:
No longer attending UCC:	If you registered with UCC, but are no longer attending, and you receive an email asking you to complete the process then your account does not yet show you have withdrawn officially from UCC.
