Regulation 8: Enrolment, residence and payment of fees

8.1 Enrolment

(a) All students are required to enrol at the start of each academic year of their programme of study and following any period of suspension of studies.

(b) For certain professional courses, students are required to provide details of their medical history before enrolling with the University.

8.2 Accommodation

Students who are tenants in University accommodation are required to abide by the terms of the residence agreement in which the duties and rights of both the student and the University are detailed.

8.3 Payment of Fees

(a) Tuition fees

Tuition fees comprise enrolment, tuition, initial examination and graduation. Tuition fees are due in advance at the beginning of each session. Details regarding methods of payment are included in the enrolment documentation for each year. Late payment fees may be payable in respect of any overdue payments or fees.

Failure to pay tuition fees, or reach an arrangement to pay which is acceptable to the Fees Office, may result in the case being reported to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor & Provost who, acting on behalf of University Council, may suspend the student from registration at the University until payment has been received. If the debt has not been paid within 24 months the student's registration will be terminated.

The University may take legal action or employ agents to recover amounts due.

Any student whose financial circumstances prevent payment of these tuition fees should contact the Fees Office as soon as possible for advice.

(b) Accommodation fees and charges

Accommodation fees and charges are due in accordance with the University Tenancy Agreement. Details regarding methods of payment of fees are included in documentation provided at enrolment and in information on the Fees office website. Late payment fees may be payable in respect of any overdue payments or fees.

Failure to pay accommodation fees may result in termination of the University Tenancy Agreement which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not of itself be regarded as an exclusion from the University. 

The University may take legal action or employ agents to recover amounts due.

Any student whose financial circumstances prevent payment of these fees and charges should contact the Fees Office as soon as possible for advice.

(c) Other accounts

Other accounts invoiced which cover miscellaneous items are due in accordance with the terms identified on the invoice. The University may take legal action or employ agents to recover amounts due.

Any student whose financial circumstances prevent payment of these charges should contact the Fees Office as soon as possible for advice.
