Accommodation fees
You can pay accommodation fees online if you are, or will be, living in any of the University's residences. The following is a list of properties that are not owned by the University:
- Chantry Court
- Culver House
- Dean's Court
- Unite House
- Woodland Court
If you are living in any of these and have queries about how to pay accommodation fees, you should contact the residence directly or the University Accommodation Office. Please do not use this online payments facility to pay fees for these residences. For all other residences, please read the information below that explains how to pay.
How to pay
Payment for accommodation fees for the 2011/12 academic session can be made in any one of the three following ways:
1. Immediate payment
Accommodation fees can be paid immediately, in full, by credit/debit card. The payment will be processed straight away and the full fees will be collected immediately.
2. Recurring card payment - The deadline for scheduling payments by this method has now passed
Accommodation fees can be scheduled for payment on agreed dates (see payment dates below) using a credit/debit card. All major credit cards are accepted except American Express and Diners Club. You can set up a recurring card payment up to and including 19th October 2011. After this date, you can still set up instalments by contacting the Income Office directly. Please note: setting up a recurring card payment will ensure all payments due for the current academic year will be made automatically. You need do nothing further (for this year) unless we contact you to say otherwise.
3. Direct Debit - The deadline for scheduling payments by this method has now passed
A Direct Debit can be set up to pay accommodation fees in instalments (see payment dates below). A Direct Debit authorises the University to take each instalment from your bank account on the predetermined due dates. We accept payment from UK bank accounts that allow Direct Debit collection. If you are uncertain whether this applies to your account, please contact your bank.
