NPC affiliation fee formula

(i) The NPC affiliation fee for a given organisation in a given financial year is calculated using the most recently publicly available HESA statistics for postgraduate student numbers in the organisation’s institution. For 2002/2003 the NPC will use the 2000/2001 HESA statistics.

(ii) Full-time equivalent (FTE) postgraduate numbers at an institution are calculated using the following formula:

(FTE numbers) = (full-time numbers) + 0.5 (part-time numbers).

(iii) The following banding system, based on FTE postgraduate numbers, is used to calculate an unmodified affiliation fee:

For the first 100 students (numbers 0-100) 100p per student

For the next 200 students (numbers 101-300) 50p per student

For the next 400 students (numbers 301-700) 30p per student For each additional student (numbers 701 and up) 10p per student

(iv) For organisations not presently affiliated, the actual affiliation fee is the unmodified fee, rounded down to the nearest pound.

(v) For existing affiliates, the actual affiliation fee is the lesser of: (a) the unmodified fee, rounded down to the nearest pound; and (b) their fee from the previous year, increased by 10 per cent and rounded down to the nearest pound.

(vi) Payment by standing order will freeze the actual affiliation fee for three years before the next recalculation (at which point the 10 per cent rule will still apply).

(vii) There is a minimum affiliation fee of 40 pounds.

(viii) The University of London Union affiliates on behalf of those postgraduates of the University of London who do not have a constituent college union to represent them, namely the British Institute in Paris, the School of Advanced Study and the University Marine Biological Station Millport. ULU’s fee shall be based on the postgraduate student numbers at these institutes. The 10 per cent rule still applies to ULU.
