At London Guildhall University we would identify whether the student was "settled" in the UK, or fell within any of the six limited categories identified by the DFEE. We would do this in informal discussion with the student and make an assessment whether they were Home or Overseas. Where the case is not clear cut, or the student does not accept the assessment, our practice is to ask the student to complete a fee status assessment questionnaire, to allow a formal assessment.
