At Edinburgh, we charge a Continuation Fee to research postgraduates
who have not submitted within the normal maximum period of study (eg
4 years for a full-time PhD). The fee is currently £380 per annum,
although it is charged on a termly basis so long as the thesis has
not been submitted.
The pattern of fees for a full-time PhD is therefore a standard
tuition fee in each of years 1 to 3, a nominal registration fee in
year 4, and a Continuation Fee in year 5 and beyond (assuming
extension of study has been granted).
I've been asked to find out what the practice is in other
institutions regarding the charging of a continuation fee (or
equivalent).
Many thanks
Donald Cattanach
