TV licence reminder to students

TV Licensing would like to remind university students that, if they buy their TV licence before the end of October, they may be able to qualify for a refund of more than £30 at the end of the academic year.

All students who use or install television equipment, such as PCs with broadcast cards, set-top boxes, DVD or video-recorders, to receive or record television programme services, are legally required to have a TV licence.

However, as long as they purchase their TV licence in October 2005, and don't need it for July, August and September 2006, they could be eligible for a refund of £31.62.

Students can buy their licence at www.tvlicensing.co.uk/students and choose from a number of ways to pay, including direct debit.

For further information on the many easy ways to pay and concessions available, we encourage students to visit www.tvlicensing.co.uk/students or call 0870 242 1417.
