STUDENTs based in the area moving home for the summer may be able to claim a refund, worth £36, on their TV Licence.
Students who purchased a TV Licence at the start of the academic year could have a full three months remaining on their licence and a refund can be claimed for this unused quarter.
To be eligible, students need to have a TV Licence with three months remaining on it, be leaving their halls or rented accommodation and be moving to a licensed address. Students can apply for their refund online or over the phone.
It is important students buy a TV Licence at the earliest opportunity when starting university and take advantage of the flexible payment options available to them. We want to help students understand the law when it comes to watching live TV on any device and help them avoid a fine of up to £1,000.
A TV Licence is needed to watch, record or stream programmes at the same time as they are shown on a TV, laptop, games console, tablet, mobile phone, or any other device.
To arrange a refund, or for further information, simply visit: www.tvlicensing.co.uk/studentinfo, or call TV Licensing on 0300 7906113.
