The University does not accept cash payments, cheques or direct bank transfers in any currency for tuition fees or accomodation payments.

As part of the UK's anti-money laundering legislation, the University needs to understand where payments for tuition fees are coming from.

The University uses Flywire or Direct Debit (with UK bank accounts only) for payment of student tuition fees, accommodation costs and other charges.

Please don't put your money at risk by dealing with any payment providers, agents or intermediaries, who may offer seemingly attractive rates of exchange or incentives but cannot be guaranteed to be secure or legitimate.

You cannot pay by American Express through Flywire if your card is issued in the UK. American Express is available for certain other overseas territories.

For country specific payment helpLink opens in a new window please see Flywire's online resource and select the country you are making payments from.

If you have chosen to pay your fees by instalments, the “Pay my tuition fees and / notify my sponsorships” task on the Enrolment Dashboard will show as incomplete until all instalments have been made.

This is because there are further fee instalments to be paid in the future and does not mean that your enrolment is incomplete.

We do not offer monthly payment instalments for tuition fees.

Accommodation fees are due at the start of each term unless you have a monthly stipend. If you email evidence of your monthly stipend to remember to include your Student ID number we will advise you further.

During the enrolment process you are able to request payment for your tuition fees to be in our standard instalments shown below, or to pay your fees in full at the start of the academic year.

Accommodation fees are due at the start of each term.

The standard instalment schedule for tuition fees is :

• 50% of tuition fees due by the first day of Term 1
• 25% of tuition fees due by the first day of Term 2

If you have not selected the tuition fee instalment option and now want to amend this, please email and quote your Student ID number.

If you have a direct debit mandate set up for your tuition fees please see the due dates here Direct Debit.

If you are receiving a postgraduate loan from Student Finance England and would like to pay your fees in three equal instalments, complete the PGL arrangement form. Your tuition fee instalments will be amended to reflect your loan payment schedule.

If you pay an annual course fee and your course starts on a date which isn't the standard start of the academic year then you can find information on the instalment plan option available to you.

This includes:

• some WBS part-time MBA and Executive programmes
• PGCEi courses.

Note: If your course is charged by module then you are not able to pay on an instalment basis.

At present if your course is charged on a modular basis then you need to pay for each module attended within 21 calendar days of the invoice being applied to your Student Records Online eVision account.

Individual modules will be invoiced separately.

If you are an enrolled student

If you have enrolled and have online access then you can create a PDF invoice with a Warwick letterhead in your Student Records Online eVision account in the Fees and Charges tab.

If you have not yet enrolled

If you need a pro-forma invoice before enrolment to secure foreign currency and meet exchange controls, your University Offer letter should suffice but if you need anything in addition then contact .

Your tuition fee invoice is created once you have enrolled for your course. If you are a first year student and you need a formal document to show what fees you will be charged - before you have enrolled - then you can use your offer letter.

Your accommodation fees are created just before Welcome Week after you have signed your contract. Your contract details the termly amounts due on the first date of each term.

Flywire will email you a payment receipt which has the University logo on once payment has been delivered. You can also view payments received in your Student Records Online account.

If you have not received a receipt after 7 working days, please send your Flywire transaction reference or a copy of your remittance with your full name and student ID number to

Enrolled students can request a digital status letter via Student Records Online at any time. If you select the “My Data” tab there is a link to request a student status and bank letter. Your PDF letter with digital header, stamp and signature is generated instantly, and will include the details you have provided of your term time address.

The University will confirm your attendance depending on the type of student you are (see below). Once we have confirmed your attendance, your SLC maintenance payment is usually processed by the SLC within 3-4 days.

Full time Undergraduate students

The Student Fees Team confirm the registration and attendance of newly enrolled students on a daily basis. This can only be done:

• within 30 days of your course start date.
• once your loan application has been fully approved and
• when you are fully enrolled for the current academic year.

You need to have fully registered on your course before we can confirm your attendance back to the SLC.

Part time Undergraduate students

The process is slightly different as attendance can only be confirmed two weeks after the start of term, once your module credits have been confirmed.

Postgraduate Students

The Students Fees Team is only able to confirm your registration if the course specified on your loan application corresponds to the course you are registered on.

Certain postgraduate courses at Warwick - mainly those leading to certificate or diploma qualifications - are not eligible for SLC postgraduate funding. We will not be able to confirm attendance on these courses even if you have applied for SLC funding for another course that is eligible.

Please check when you apply for SLC funding whether your chosen course is eligible by reference to the list on the SFE portal.

Once you have fully enrolled and you have had your tuition fee invoice raised the the Student Fees Team will notify the SLC.

I have asked the SLC for more tuition fee loan than I need..

If you have applied for a higher loan value then Student Fees Team notifies the SLC Company by submitting a Change of Circumstance form. This informs the SLC that the University will be charging you a lesser amount for tuition fees.

The SLC will then amend your tuition fee loan amount to equal the revised tuition fee.

I have asked the SLC for less tuition fee loan than I need..

If you have applied for a lower loan value - you need to contact the SLC yourself to request an increase to your tuition fee loan.

The SLC will not make tuition fee loan payments above the value of the loan that you have requested previously and has been approved.

If you have changed course before the the original start date of your course, you can change this yourself by logging into your SLC account.

If you have already started your course the Student Fees Team will notify the SLC that your course has changed since you submitted your loan application.

If your loan application has been approved, the University accepts this as confirmation that the Student Loans Company will be meeting all of your tuition fee payments for the academic year within their payment schedule.

Contact the Student Fees team by email -

• include your Student Support Number (format ABCD12345678E – four letters, eight numbers and a letter) and that you had initially selected a different University on your loan application.

The Student Fees Team will notify the Student Loans Company that you have now enrolled on a course at Warwick.

The SLC will then update your information and arrange for tuition fee payments to be made to Warwick.

If your SLC loan has not been approved before you enrol, please indicate in the Online Enrolment Dashboard within your Student Records Online account that you expect SLC to be funding your tuition fees.

It is your responsibility to resolve any issues with your application before the end of Term 1 and you must keep us updated with your progress.

If you are studying on a modular postgraduate course (many Warwick Business School courses are in this category) then you will not be able to add your sponsor details through the Online Enrolment Dashboard. In this instance, once your fees have been generated you will be sent an e-mail which contains a link to the sponsorship option within Student Records Online. Using the link you can enter your sponsorship details and attach any supporting documents. The Sponsor Invoice Team will verify the information you have submitted, update your student account and send an invoice to your sponsor. Please allow five working days for this to be processed.

Your sponsor has 30 days to pay the invoice, they do not have an option to pay in instalments. If we do not receive payment your fees will be moved to your student account and you will need to make payment.

If you have received confirmation from your academic department or the University that you have been awarded a bursary or scholarship, then there is no need to worry.

Bursary information needs to be added to students’ accounts manually and therefore, due to the large number of bursaries the University administers, may not be reflected on your student account at the point you are asked to enrol.

If you have any queries relating to the value of a Warwick administered bursary or scholarship, please contact your academic department in the first instance who can confirm the details have been sent to the relevant team to update your Student Records Online account.

The amount of tuition fee covered by your bursary or scholarship will be deducted from your full tuition fee amount for the academic year.

If your bursary or scholarship doesn’t cover your tuition fees in full then you will need to make payment for the remaining balance by the due date.

Contact to arrange for your CAS to be updated.

Flywire enables you to track your payment and they will advise you when payment is received by us.

We only update CAS records with payments once the money has been guaranteed. This may take a couple of days from the date of your initial payment transaction depending on the payment checks that may be required.

If you have already established a CAS record, we aim to update this within 2 working days of your payment being received.
