We have a mature single student here who believes we should pay him more than the £3000 limit of Access Funds. He says that he needs to maintain a home (rented) in his home town for his use during vacations. During term-time he has been staying in halls, and his home remains empty. All his associated costs leave him with an annual shortfall of about £4000. We have now paid him £3000 and he insists we should pay more. Do colleagues have similar experiences and how have you responded? I do not wish to divulge further details on the mailbase, but would welcome a telephone discussion in order to compare notes in more detail. ---------------------------------------- Neil Gaskin Head of Student Advice and Welfare Services Centre for Student Affairs University of the West of England Coldharbour Lane Frenchay Bristol BS16 1QY Tel: +44 (0)117 976 3816 Internal extension 2322 Fax: +44 (0)117 976 3819 E-mail: [log in to unmask] ---------------------------------------- Neil Gaskin Head of Student Advice and Welfare Services Centre for Student Affairs University of the West of England Coldharbour Lane Frenchay Bristol BS16 1QY Tel: +44 (0)117 976 3816 Internal extension 2322 Fax: +44 (0)117 976 3819 E-mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
