Policy Relating To Unpaid Fees And Charges

In accordance with the University's Rules & Regulations

  • Assessed tuition fee contributions and accommodation fees are payable either by Direct Debit instalments or payment of the fees in full at the commencement of session.
  • If a Direct Debit claim is dishonoured, letters shall be sent informing the payer of a re-claim within one month. The letter will also state that if the second claim is dishonoured, library and computer facilities may be withdrawn and a notice of eviction may be served in respect of accommodation fees.
  • When a claim is dishonoured for a second time, the names of the defaulters are passed to Information Services for the withdrawal of facilities and Residential Services for the eviction notices to be served.
  • Where a student either fails to return a Direct Debit instruction or cancels an existing one without making suitable arrangements for the payment of their fees, computer network and library facilities may be withdrawn.
  • Any student who has outstanding fees shall not be awarded a degree, diploma, certificate or qualification from the University until the debt is cleared. Such students shall be prevented from re-enrolling at the institution and from using any of the University’s facilities.
  • Students who have not paid fees, charges or any other debts owed to the University may have their registration cancelled and be excluded from the University.
  • Any student withdrawn from University with outstanding fees will be contacted by letter. If this fails to secure payment they may be referred to the University’s debt collection agency.
  • Each student remains individually liable for all fees, debts and other charges payable to the University on his or her behalf. The fact that a body representative of students or any other person/body has advised non-payment or any other course of action that threatens to involve the University in financial loss does not affect this individual responsibility.
