Hall fees

The Hall Fees Team offer advice and guidance in relation to the payment of accommodation fees. They also manage your accommodation payments and instalment dates. Students often come to see us about concerns they may have, for example:

  • Student finance delays
  • Lack of funds
  • New bank card
  • Changes to payment plans

If you are worried or stressed about your hall fees account in any way, please contact us as soon as possible so we can help to keep you on track. We are able to provide you with support and guidance in relation to your hall fees payment plan.

How to make payments

If you are moving into halls, you will have three steps to complete:

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 rates in this table are for anyone on a standard 40-week contract with start date of 25/09/2022 and end date of 02/07/2023.

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.

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

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.

Third party disclosure

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.

Damage deposits

A £150 refundable damage deposit is required to secure a place in halls. This is refundable in full on condition that there are no damage charges to be deducted. The damage deposit can only be refunded to the original payer and will be refunded in full 28 days after your contract end date, which is not necessarily the same date that room keys are returned.

If there is an outstanding balance on your accommodation account, the deposit will be withheld until the balance is cleared.
