This field will capture the net fee charged, that is after any financial support from the provider such as waivers are taken into account.

Compulsory for all students on either designated courses or where designation is held at provider level, and InstancePeriod.EXCHIND is 2 or 3. Not required for students submitted for UNISTATS purposes only.

This field captures the net fee; that is the fee charged after any financial support from the provider such as waivers are taken into account. For example; a student with an InstancePeriod.GROSSFEE of £9,000 who has had a fee waiver of £1,000 should be returned as 8000 in this field.

The NETFEE returned should be the exact fee, e.g. £6,551 and not rounded.

If a student leaves the provider part the way through the instance year, the annualised amount the student would have been charged should be returned in NETFEE.

For instance periods that span HESA reporting years where it is not known which or how many modules the student will elect to take in HESA year two of the year of instance, providers should return the fee based on modules started in the reporting year.

For instance periods that span HESA reporting years the full fee for the year of instance should be returned.

Students who do not have any financial support will have the same value returned in both InstancePeriod.GROSSFEE and NETFEE.

Where InstancePeriod.GROSSFEE exists NETFEE must also exist and be less than or equal to the value of Instance.GROSSFEE.

Bursaries which offer non-cash support, such as free laptops, discounts on accommodation etc, should also not be used to reduce the value of NETFEE. If the bursary is given in cash directly to the student on the expectation that they hand it back to the provider to cover the fees, NETFEE should be reduced to account for this.

Where the NHS or other body pays a per-capita charge equivalent to a fee this should be recorded in this field. However where the NHS pays a single fee that is not linked to individual students then zero should be returned.

NETFEE is not required for incoming exchange students or dormant students.

A student with a InstancePeriod.GROSSFEE of £9,000 who has had a fee waiver of £1,000 should be returned as 8000 in this field.

Students who do not have any financial support will have the same value returned in both InstancePeriod.GROSSFEE and NETFEE.

To monitor the various fee levels and their spread across the UK. Used with GROSSFEE to monitor the actual fees paid by students and which student groups are charged reduced fees.
