Welcome or welcome back to Kent!
Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about when your tuition and accommodation fees are due and how to pay them.
If you are an undergraduate student funded by Student Finance England, they will pay the fees directly to the University.
Key dates for Autumn term: tuition fees
I’m an undergraduate student (not funded by Student Finance England)
50% of your tuition fees are due when you enrol or complete returning registration (by 14 October 2024) and the remaining 50% are due on or before 1 December 2024.
I’m a postgraduate student (in receipt of Student Finance)
33% of your tuition fees are due on 23 September 2024. The remaining tuition fees are due on 13 January (33%) and 5 May (33%).
I’m a postgraduate student (non-funded)
50% of your tuition fees are due when you enrol or complete returning registration (by 14 October 2024) and the remaining 50% are due on or before 1 December 2024.
I’m an international student
If you are an international student whose country limits the movement of cash, we can review your options to pay in smaller amounts, but we do expect your fees to be paid in full within term one. This is particularly important if you have a Student visa as this is a requirement of your visa.
Failure to pay could result in your student registration being cancelled. If you encounter a delay or problem making payment you must communicate with your Income Office Account Controller, so that they can review your options.
Key dates for Autumn term: accommodation fees
Your accommodation contract will state the amount due. See options for paying accommodation fees.
I’m an undergraduate student (Canterbury)
Your accommodation fees are due on 23 September 2024.
I’m a postgraduate student (Canterbury)
Your accommodation fees are due on 16 September 2024.
I’m a student living in Pier Quays accommodation (Medway)
Pier Quays accommodation is provided by Unite Students for the University, so your contract is with Unite Students. All accommodation payments should be made to Pier Quays directly and not the University. Unite will tell you how you need to pay. You can go to the reception in Pier Quays to ask any queries about your accommodation fees.
