Only in exceptional circumstances would the award be rescinded or your account with JS Group be frozen or closed, e.g. when students leave the University or if there is any misconduct in relation to their accounts. If the funds have been spent there would be no requirement to repay spent funds.

If you were eligible to receive this award in 2019/20, 2020/21 or 2021/22 you will continue to receive the award for the normal duration of your course. However, you will not be required to complete the triggers, as previously advertised.

If you transfer course your new course must meet the eligibility criteria for you to continue receiving the award. If the transfer extends the time you will spend studying at the University the award will be capped based on the original course duration less anything you have received to date.

In the event of a formal interruption to your studies which is agreed with the University, your account would be frozen which means you would not be able to buy anything with any unspent credit until such time as you re-registered and resumed your studies and your account was re-activated. You will not receive any additional credit where your interruption extends the length of your studies.

Your account would be frozen which means you would not be able to buy anything with any unspent credit until such time as your suspension was lifted and your account was re-activated. Re-activation of your account would, however, be dependent on the award scheme still running at the point your suspension was lifted. You will not receive any additional credit where your suspension extends the length of your studies.

The award will continue to be paid during the period of time you are repeating your studies however the maximum value of the award will not increase to reflect any additional period of time you are studying for i.e. if you qualify for the award and are studying on a three year course the maximum you will be entitled to is £450. If you start on a three year course but it takes you four years to complete you will receive a maximum of £450 over the first three years of study.

Yes, key books on your reading lists should be available to be purchased through the Bolton Aspire website - in addition to a range of other resources designed to help with your studies.

You can also search your course on the Bolton Aspire website, the key readings that are available to purchase under the scheme will be listed.

No, your account will be closed so you should spend any unspent credit before you leave the University at the end of your degree.

You can use your credit towards the cost and top up the difference with your own credit/debit card or PayPal.

It would be rolled over for you to spend in the next academic year provided you enrol for the next academic year, and the award scheme is still running. Please note this will not be the case in your final year, please ensure you have spent all funds by the end of your final year as unspent funds will be lost.

Your course leader will advise you regarding books and/or materials they would recommend as being desirable to assist you with your studies. You can also find the reading lists for your modules on the Library's Reading Lists Online system: https://bolton.rl.talis.com/index.html. Reading Lists Online will show you the availability of your reading via the Library (both in print and online). However, the Bolton Aspire website will list the key recommended readings if you wish to purchase your own personal copies.

Your account will be closed on the official end date of the final academic year of your course, not at Graduation, this is because some courses finish some time before the Graduation ceremonies take place. Please ensure all UniAsItShouldBe funds have been spent by this date, as any unspent funds will be inaccessible and therefore be lost after this date.
