This article offers guidance on paying your tuition fees, including support from others.

Once you register/ re-register online, a tuition fee invoice/payment plan will be generated and sent to your University email account and to your personal email, unless you have already paid your fees in full in advance. 

Please note, you will receive an official invoice from the email address:income@port.ac.uk. However if you have requested a pro-forma invoice, this will be from the email address:tuition.fees@port.ac.uk. If you receive an invoice from any other email addresses, please refer these to income@port.ac.uk.

Discount

If you pay your tuition fees in full at the beginning of your course, you may claim a 2% prompt payment discount. You will receive an invoice by email shortly after your course start date. To claim your discount you should pay the net amount (ie. 98% of the invoice total) before the due date shown on your invoice. If you are unsure of the amount to pay, please contact the fees team at tuition.fees@port.ac.uk who will be able to confirm your fee for you or use the tuition fee calculator.

Instalment payments by Direct Debit Instruction or Recurring Card Payment Instruction

If you wish to pay by instalment you must set up an instruction. To set up a payment plan, please read the instructions below. The University instalment plan is 6 x monthly instalments from October to March. All instalment instructions are to be submitted to the University using the Webpay system.  If you choose this payment method and would like to pay Accommodation in the same way, please note that you will need to complete two mandates, one for each type.

• You can register for a payment plan through Webpay by choosing either the credit/ debit card instalment or direct debit payment options depending on which you prefer. Click here for guidance on the Direct Debit Guarantee.
• Do not enter any fee amounts on webpay as you are just setting up the plan.
• Your payment plan will be sent to you (or the payer) by email following receipt of this instruction. This could take a few days.
• When completing an instalment instruction, please note that clicking "Pay Now" at the end of the Webpay process does not take money from your account. This only happens if you have chosen the option to pay immediately.
• Set up your instalment instruction on Webpay.

When to pay by

Tuition fees are required to be paid or settled before the course start date, or on the due date of the tuition fee invoice. 

Tuition fees are ‘paid’ when the annual amount is paid in full. Tuition fees are ‘settled’ when the Student Loans Company confirm the award, or a Sponsor agrees to pay the fee by submitting a sponsor form (RE2), or when you set up a Direct Debit or recurring card payment mandate to pay your fees.
