Recurring Card Payment (RCP) instalment plan:
- is only available for NI/ROI/GB students whose balance is £100 or more;
- is set up during online enrolment;
- requires 10% of your tuition fee to be paid at registration / re-enrolment followed by up to eight monthly instalments collected on the first day of the month (Oct to May) or for Jan intake, up to four instalments (Feb to May);
- may be set up until 31 March 2025 with final collection being 01 May.
For students first registering in semester 2, you must either pay tuition fees in full or an instalment plan can be set up with final collection being 01 May.
If you first register or add a module(s) to your record during semester 3, the tuition fees must be paid in full.
All communications regarding RCP plans will be sent to the email account used to set up your plan.
For high value payments drawn on foreign cards, it is recommended that you contact your bank or credit card issuer to notify them that you are intending to process a high value transaction to avoid delays.
What happens if my collection fails?
Transaction Declined (First Attempt)
If after set-up, the initial transaction is declined: the system will retry the failed transaction five days later.
You must contact your card issuer to find out why the transaction has been declined.
Transaction Declined (Second Attempt)
If the resubmission fails, an administrative charge of £45 will be applied to your tuition fee account.
RCP collection fails
Where the RCP collection fails, the University reserves the right to either cancel the instalment plan / agreement and demand immediate payment of the whole amount outstanding and / or impose Sanctions until tuition fee arrears have been cleared..
You will not be permitted to set up another instalment plan within the academic year
