Payment of Tuition Fees
If the students are registered in courses, by the due date for enrolment/re-enrolment, an invoice will be available in your e-mail before the due date for payment if you have an outstanding balance to pay. If you do not receive an invoice and the due date for payment is drawing near, you should contact the Student Fees Office especially if you have enrolled late or made late changes to your enrolment.

All students paying tuition fees upfront are required to pay by the due date recorded on the invoice. If you have a liability at any time for more than one fee type, you will receive separate invoices. Accounts settled by 4.00pm on the due date will avoid any financial penalties. After the due date payments will be accepted with a late fee of £125.00. Payments will not be accepted after the relevant course Census Date.
