How to Pay

Home Students

If your tuition fees are not paid by a sponsor or Student Finance, you will need to pay them yourself.

Whether you are paying in full or setting up an approved payment plan either option needs to be completed within 21 days of enrolment. If you do not complete this step your right to study may be affected as outlined in the University General Regulations

Please refer to any correspondence you may have received in relation to Tuition Fees for the amount you will be expected to pay.

Sponsorship Letters

Sponsorship letters (from commercial bodies only, not a private individual such as a friend or relative) will be accepted providing that the correct letter structure is adhered to. The letter should:

  • Be on letter headed paper, be addressed to the University of Lincoln, and signed by your line manager or director.
  • Contain contact details of the person/department responsible for payment of your fees
  • Include your name, the academic year you are being sponsored for, the programme title, and the sponsorship amount.

If your sponsor requires a purchase order number or other reference number quoting on their invoice, this should also be indicated on the letter. 

Please note that sponsors must pay in full within 30 days of receipt of invoice and cannot pay by instalments.

Please note that the University does not accept cash payments for fees. Please choose one of the following options:

Pay by Instalments

Tuition Fee Payment Terms

The number of instalments available to you will depend on the nature and cost of your course. All instalment plans must be consecutive and will commence from the month of enrolment.

The following guidelines apply:

  • For standard courses with fees exceeding £5,000 — a maximum of nine monthly instalments is available.
  • For postgraduate students in receipt of a Postgraduate Loan, we have a three-instalment payment plan available with the payments being taken in line with your Postgraduate Loan payments.
  • For non-standard courses priced below £5,000 — up to six monthly instalments may be offered.

ELCAS-funded students who are required to pay a personal contribution

  • Personal contribution above £1,000 may be offered up to six instalments
  • Personal contribution below £1,000 may be offered up to three instalments

These terms are subject to the conditions of your CAN. Please note that failure to pay your payment plan in full may result in the loss of your sponsorship, and you will be liable for the full fee.

  • For short courses with fees of £1,000 or less — full payment is required within 21 days of enrolment. Instalment plans are not available for these courses.

Important Information

Failure to make payments on time, or to adhere to your agreed instalment plan, will result in sanctions being applied to your student account. This may include:

  • Suspension of access to Blackboard and other online learning resources.
  • Delays in receiving your certificate, re-enrolling on your course, or graduating — until all outstanding fees have been paid in full.

 

Using our partner system, WPM, you will be able to pay your tuition securely in instalments using the following payment cards:

Visa  Maestro  MasterCard
