In the past some LEAs have covered the difference, but not all. Chris

Subject: cost of en-suite room in halls
Dear All,
I have a feeling that this may have been discussed before but would like
some current feedback from anyone who can help.
I have received a letter from a potential student who requires an en-
suite room in halls as a result of his medical condition. He has asked
if he can pay the rate charged for the non en-suite rooms ( a difference
of several hundred pounds).
I would like to know what other HEIs do in this situation:
1) charge less?
2) charge the going rate and recover the difference from DSA or other
funds available?
3) something else?
Please let me know if you have some info which could help me formulate a
policy here.
Many thanks
Pat
