Notes

This field records whether the fee varies by year and whether or not the institution expects that fees will be increased in later years to reflect inflation. Where the fee will only vary due to inflation code 10 should be used. Where the fee varies both with inflation and by course year/stage, then code 11 should be used.

Codes 11 and 21 should only be used if the institution anticipates charging different fees in each year above and beyond variations caused by inflation. If the institution is not clear whether fees will rise with inflation codes 10 and 11 should be used.

When codes 11 and 21 are used in respect of either a year abroad or a sandwich placement, the lower fees that are usually available should be included in the calculation of the average maximum fee, the wording on the site will make it clear that the value reflects different fees charged in different years, indicated by the completion of this field.

This field must not be returned where KISCourse.KISTYPE = 3.

This field is not required where course fee information is being provided through UCAS, through KISCourse.UCASCOURSEID.
