Your fees

Every student at the University has a financial account held centrally. The Income Office is responsible for applying all tuition and accommodation charges to your student account and collecting all related student income. Understanding and preparing for when your fees are due to be paid will help you plan your budget for the year.

New undergraduates

Budget to have enough money to cover your first few weeks as your maintenance loan may not come through immediately. 

Make sure you bring your University or College Payment Advice letter with you as you may need to have it scanned by a member of the Financial Aid Office. You will be advised what to do if required. 

Once you have registered, any authorised maintenance payments should be released by the Student Loans Company in three to six working days.
