Direct Debit (DD) may be set up at registration during online enrolment and is available if your balance is £100 or more.
To sign up online, you must be the account holder and the only person required to authorise debits from the account.
The cut-off date for setting up an online DD plan and receipt of a DD mandate is 14 October 2024.
Payment by DD is not available for students registering in semesters 2 and 3.
Eligibility Criteria
- You must have an eligible UK bank or building society account in order to set up a DD plan.
- Saving accounts are not permitted under the DD scheme rules.
Instalments
The tuition fee balance payable by direct debit will be collected in 5 equal instalments on the first day of each month from 01 December until 01 April.
Should the first day of the month fall on a weekend or a bank holiday, the Direct Debit will be collected on the next available working day.
Notification
You will receive a 'Confirmation of the Set-Up of your Direct Debit' letter shortly after your direct debit has been set up.
You will receive a 'Notification of Collection of Direct Debit Payments' letter, in November 24, detailing your DD instalment amounts and the collection dates.
If you do not receive this letter by 23 November 24 (2024/25 academic year), please contact the Tuition Fees Office.
Unpaid Direct Debits
If your direct debit comes back as unpaid, an administrative charge of £45 will be applied to your tuition fee account. Should your direct debit be returned, your direct debit will also be cancelled. You will be required to pay the balance on your tuition fees in full immediately and you will not be permitted to set up another instalment plan.
