Repeat Teaching FAQs

How do I register for the new academic year?

If you are returning from interruption, have been unregistered during the previous year or hold a visa that does not cover you for the entirety of the new academic year, you must register in person. You should register at the time confirmed for new students on your programme. This information can be found here

Continuing students who do not fall into any of the above categories can register via LSE for You from the beginning of September. More information can be found here

How do I choose my courses?

You do not choose your courses. They are input for you in reference to those listed and approved on your Repeat Teaching application. Course choices will begin to be entered on your student record at the end of August, and only after your repeat teaching has been officially approved.

If you wish to make any changes to the courses you have had approved you must email your departmental tutor to gain permission for the change. You should then forward this confirmation to ssc.repeatteaching@lse.ac.uk for final consideration and processing. 

For any courses in which you do not have repeat teaching you will be automatically re-entered for the outstanding examinations. Full details regarding this process, including how to make payment, are available on the re-entry webpage.

What are the fees for Repeat Teaching?

The fees for Repeat Teaching can be found here.

Can I still access Student Finance? (UK and EU)

If you are paying Home fees and have previously received funding from Student Finance or want to apply for funding for your repeat year, you should contact Student Finance directly. 

In order to be eligible for continued funding from Student Finance you will need to be registered for teaching. If you are going to be registered for fewer than four units, Student Finance still consider you to be engaged on a fulltime programme; so do not complete a part-time Student Finance application.

If you have already applied for funding through Student Finance before you realised that you had not progressed into your next year of study, they will need to be notified of the change. Registry will notify Student Finance of your circumstances and confirm that you need access to funding as a student registered for repeat teaching. They will also confirm the change of fee, as applicable.

If you have any questions you should speak to Student Finance directly.

An approval of Repeat Teaching is not a guarantee of funding. You must satisfy the usual criteria. 

What happens to my LSE scholarship?

If you have an LSE scholarship and are not progressing to the next year of your programme please contact the Financial Support Office as soon as possible.

Is there any other funding available for Repeat Teaching?

The Students' Union considers requests for financial assistance. They can potentially provide funding for students experiencing financial difficulties for a range of different reasons. One fund is specifically for students undertaking Repeat Teaching. For details contact su.advice@lse.ac.uk.

What are the implications for my Tier 4 visa?

If you have been approved for Repeat Teaching and are an international student you must contact the International Student Visa Advice Team (ISVAT) in the Student Services Centre to access detailed advice on visa applications, caps and extensions. An approval of Repeat Teaching is not a guarantee that you can take the teaching; you must satisfy visa compliance.
