How to make payments

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

  • Sign your e-licence agreement for your accommodation.
  • Pay £150 advanced residence fee to secure your place in halls. This amount will be deducted from your recurring card payment, or when you pay your total hall fees for the whole of your accommodation contract
  • Pay your fees in full or set up a recurring card payment (RCP) from August onwards from August onwards

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 on the following days:

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

Please note that each instalment does not cover a semester. 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.

Most students choose to pay their fees in three instalments as this coincides with student funding payments. If you intend to pay your accommodation fees with your student funding, please note that once you are registered onto your course, you should receive your first maintenance loan payment within 3 to 5 working days.

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.

If you need to make an additional payment outside of your payment plan, this can be made online.
