When will I be paid?

 

The first instalment of your postgraduate loan will be paid into your account 3 working days after the course start date has passed, provided you have registered online and completed an ID check, if you are a new student. If you have not received your first payment within this time, please contact dsaa-slc-liaison@port.ac.uk

 

How do I pay my fees?

 

If you will be using the loan for tuition fee payment, you can set-up an instalment plan over three instalments in line with your loan payments. If you chose to pay by recurring credit or debit card, an initial instalment of £50* will be due at registration, to register the card details, followed by an instalment at the start of each term on a date to coincide with the receipt of the loan instalments. The initial £50 is not required when choosing the Direct Debit arrangement.

 

*The £50 instalment is paid as part payment of fees, not in addition to.

 

On receipt of this information, you payment plan will be automatically updated to three instalments. Below are the standard payment plan dates for a September start student.

 

Instalment 1 - 04/10/2020
