Standard Payment Plan
Students can request our standard payment plan during the enrolment process.
Applicants who have selected the payment plan option, will receive a link to their online payment plan. A credit or debit card will be required to set up this plan. No other methods of payment will be accepted. Alternatively if you already did your enrolment and selected different option, please email income@northampton.ac.uk to request alternative option.
During the registration process, the applicant will be asked to pay 25% of the annual fee and additional seven monthly instalments will be set up at the same time. Each instalment will be collected from the card used in the registration process; we call these Recurring Card Payments.
By agreeing to the plan, applicants confirm that they understand the following:
- That they ensure there are sufficient funds available in your account on the fee collection dates.
- In the event where the payment failed: the student will receive an email advising you of the failure. After 48 hours, the payment will automatically be processed a second time, giving them time to resolve any issues (transfer funds, update card details etc). If both payment attempts fail, you will be contacted by our Credit Control team.
- If more than two instalments fail, the plan will be canceled and the student will be asked to pay the remaining fee in full.
Payment Plan for applicants with Postgraduate/Doctoral loan funding
Our payment plan for applicants with approved Postgraduate loan will be contacted directly to arrange a payment plan.
The applicant will receive a link to their online payment plan. A credit or debit card will be required to set up this plan. No other methods of payment will be accepted.
During the registration process, the applicant will be asked to register their card for three future instalments. Each instalment will be collected from the card used in the registration process, we call these Recurring Card Payments.
Each instalment will be approximately a third of the annual fee. The exact amounts and dates will be specified in the email containing the link. The first instalment will be scheduled 5 working days after student’s attendance has been confirmed to SFE. The following two instalments will be scheduled for the day after the PG loan is due to arrive in student’s account.
By agreeing to the plan, applicants confirm that they understand the following:
- That they ensure there are sufficient funds available in your account on the fee collection dates.
- That students are responsible for prompt payment of their instalments, regardless of how they distributed their loan funds.
*Failure to fully pay any of the three instalments within 60 days will result in suspension of their enrolment, which may lead to termination at a later date if your instalment is not settled in full.
In the event where the payment failed: the student will receive an email advising you of the failure. After 48 hours, the payment will automatically be processed a second time, giving them time to resolve any issues (transfer funds, update card details etc). If both payment attempts fail, you will be contacted by our Credit Control team.
The University is obliged to inform the Student Loan Company of any change of circumstances in a student’s enrolment status. This will affect future loan payments to you and the SLC repayment terms.
