The College has a requirement to complete a residency check on all non-UK nationals for tuition fee purposes.
If you’re from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you and your family might be able to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme to continue living in the UK. You might also be able to apply if you’re the family member of an eligible person of Northern Ireland.
The deadline for most people to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme was 30 June 2021. This deadline does not apply if you already have pre-settled status and you’re applying for settled status.
If you or your family are from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you can still apply if you or a family member were living in the UK by 31 December 2020. You must also either:
- meet one of the criteria for a later deadline to apply
- have ‘reasonable grounds’ for why you’re applying now, and not by the deadline or in the time since the deadline passed
You may be able to stay in the UK without applying - for example, if you’re an Irish citizen, or you already have indefinite leave to enter or remain.
If your application is successful, you’ll get either settled or pre-settled status.

Once you have applied to Fife College to study you will be required to provide us with evidence of your settled or pre-settled status. To prove your status, you will need to obtain a “share code”, please click here for more information –

A share code consists of both letters and numbers and is at least 9 digits long.
Please also be aware that the share code is only valid for a period of 30 days.
You can provide a copy of your share code to Fife College by emailing it to our Admissions Team on applications@fife.ac.uk. You will be sent an email asking for this once we have received your course application.
