With a fee plan in place, approved by the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW), fees can be charged up to the amount stated in the fee plan for that course, subject to the prescribed limit of £9,000. Institutions which do not have a plan agreed by 1 October 2011 will only be permitted to charge tuition fees not exceeding £4,000 in academic year 2012/13.
