    Is this DIT?

    As far as I know capitation is another word for student contribution - so it looks like you pay 5400 + 2000 - also if you don't get a grant to cover the fees you can get tax relief on the tuition fees - which means you can get some of the fee back - It can also be claimed by someone like your parent or partner

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Yes - no problem in asking

    You can, but your son/daughter will probably get the answer quicker than you as there are no service level agreements for parents in most 3rd levels, whereas staff and students will likely get the response.

    There shouldn't be an issue in principle with splitting the contribution.
