Eligibility criteria for payment plans
New and returning undergraduate and postgraduate students have the option to apply for a payment plan during the online enrolment or re-enrolment process and will see this option as part of the ‘payment’ stage.
As well as completing online enrolment/re-enrolment, the following criteria should be met:
- The student/sponsor has a University accepted credit or debit card
- The student has no outstanding balances from prior academic periods.
Students with an outstanding balance from prior academic periods will not be able to request a payment plan using Recurring Card Payment (RCP) and will need to clear their balance before being able to request a payment plan. Students with outstanding balances will not see the option of RCP displayed to them, and therefore will not be able to set up a payment plan until all past due balance is cleared.
If eligible, students can apply for an RCP through Regent’s online payment services.
Timing of instalments
Payment plans are offered in three equal interest-free instalments, payable monthly within the term. For example, for autumn semester, the first instalment is payable 24 hours upon completion of online enrolment. Second and third instalments will be payable approximately one month and two months respectively after the first instalment.
Failure to adhere to a payment plan
Default of against a payment plan will result in the plan being withdrawn and tuition fees payable immediately.
All payment plans are recurring card payments.
Students with loan funding
Students with SLC funding should contact the finance office (+44 (0)20 7487 7700 – select option 3) before using RCP option for requesting a payment plan. This is to ensure that the instalments are amended to reflect the timing and value of loan receipts.
Please note; the University does not hold information on Student Finance England payment disbursement dates. For the most accurate and up-to-date details, please refer directly to the Student Loans Company (SLC) portal.
Tuition fee payment in advance of enrolment
Students who would like to pay fees before enrolling can do so through our online payment services.
This is not recommended as enrolling and paying through e-vision will ensure accurate allocation of tuition fees to your account.
