Tuition Fee Payment Terms

All students will automatically be set up with a payment plan from September 2025 with up to nine consecutive monthly instalments, depending on their fee amount. The first instalment will be due 21 days after enrolment.

Students will receive a notification email shortly after enrolment with the payment schedule and will need to make their payments online each month. There will be no need to register any card information for this. Students will receive an email reminder five days before the instalment is due to allow time to make a payment.

Should students fail to make their payments on time will have sanctions placed on their accounts.
