Hall fees

Before moving into your on-campus accommodation, you will have three steps to complete:

• Sign your e-licence agreement within five days of receiving your room offer
• Pay £150 Advanced Residence Fee (ARF) within five working days of signing your e-licence agreement. The ARF is required to secure a place in halls. This amount will be deducted from your recurring card payment, or if you pay your total hall fees for the whole of your accommodation contract

You can pay your hall fees online with a debit or credit card in one of two ways:

Pay in full. Pay the total upfront in one instalment.

Pay in three instalments. You can set up a Recurring Card Payment (RCP) so that your halls fees will be taken in three equal instalments.

Most students choose to pay their fees in three instalments as this coincides with student funding payments.

The three main instalment dates for the next academic year are:

• 16 October 2024
• 15 January 2025
• 7 May 2025

If you intend to pay your accommodation fees with your student funding, please note that once you are registered onto your course, your first instalment will be received in three to five working days.

Student loans are paid in three instalments at the start of each term. If you are not on the standard 40 week contract or started your contract in the middle of the academic year, please contact the Halls Fees team, for information regarding payment arrangements. The total balance due for the duration of your licence agreement (40 weeks or agreed fixed term) is divided into three equal instalments, unless you pay in full.

In the event that you need to make an additional payment outside of your payment plan, it can be made online.

Due to Data Protection Legislation and the University Data Protection Policy we are unable to discuss or disclose any information without your prior written consent.

It is important to remember that even if it is not your card we hold on the payment system, it is your account.

If you want someone to make payments on your behalf, or to discuss your hall fees account with us, you will need to provide the name and contact details of the person you want us to speak to. You can do this by following this online by logging on with your student number and password then selecting requests and Third Party Disclosure. We cannot accept verbal or email permission. Third party consent must be completed in this way via the Accommodation Portal.
