How and when to pay

• You must pay your university accommodation charges on or before the due dates set out in your accommodation agreement. Late fee charges, as stated in the University’s Fees Regulations, will apply for arrears. 
• Your responsibilities for payment of your university accommodation charges are set out in clause 2.1 and Schedule 1 of the Terms and Conditions of Residence. You can view a sample contract here.
• Serious or persistent arrears are considered a breach of your accommodation agreement, which could lead to its termination.  
• Disciplinary regulations and procedures apply to students who owe accommodation charges or other payments in relation to the accommodation agreement. The University shall, by these Regulations, warn residents that in accordance with the University’s Ordinance, no person shall be eligible for any award by the University unless all fees, charges, dues and fines owing to the University have been paid in full. 
• Please contact the SID team if you have questions about paying accommodation charges. Details about how to pay can be read here. 
• The University is not required to repay pre-paid charges except as set out in the University’s accommodation agreement or in these Regulations. The University shall not act as guarantor or pay charges for any student living in privately-owned or leased accommodation. 

Most contracts start on a fixed date in September (or January for PGs joining a January-starting course). If you accept an accommodation contract after this date then you will be required to make your first payment 7 days after the contract start date we agree with you. This date will be displayed online as you go through the offer acceptance process. Subsequent instalments will then match the above schedule.
