Under my Department's free fees initiative, tuition fees are not paid in respect of students doing repeat years or repeating a year level having changed, but not completed, their undergraduate courses. This condition may be waived in exceptional circumstances, such as in cases of certified serious illness. As regards this particular case, I understand that the college has advised the student that on the basis of the medical evidence produced the student will not be liable to pay tuition fees.
