When to pay your acceptance fee

The acceptance fee should be submitted with the acceptance of an offer of a place at the University. Once a student starts their studies, the acceptance fee is allocated as part of the first payment due for tuition fees.

Refunding acceptance fees

The acceptance fee will only be refunded in accordance with the below guidance. Additionally, if the acceptance of a study place is cancelled within 14 days of receipt of payment, or if visa nationals fail to secure a visa; we will require notification from the appropriate High Commission and may process a refund.

Guidance on Acceptance Fee refunds, in cases of applicant withdrawals:

Point of withdrawal in application process % returned to student
Prior to the receipt of financial documents or prior to issue of CAS if applying from a country where it’s not a requirement to provide financial evidence (countries as defined on the Government website list). 100%
After (at least some) documents received, but prior to CAS being issued 66%
After CAS issues but >30 days prior to start of course 33%
<30 days to the start of the course 0%

Please note: in instances where a course application is received within 30 days of the start of the course, then the final point listed above will stand, with 0% of the Acceptance Fee being refunded, irrespective of whether CAS has been processed.

Point of withdrawal in application process % returned to student
>30 days prior to the start of the course 100%
<30 days to the start of the course 0%
