Your tuition fees will be either Course Billed or Modular Billed. The method of billing will be stated on your offer letter.

Course Billed – these courses are billed annually in the first term of each academic year. Note that inflation may be applied to course fees after year 1.

Modular Billed – You will be sent an invoice for each module shortly after starting each module.

You will receive an invoice by e-mail. You can pay in several ways:

• TUITION FEE LOAN Apply to the Student Loans Company (SLC) for a tuition fee loan if eligible. Once your application has been successfully processed, the SLC will send us payment for your fees directly, you don’t need to do anything.

• SPONSOR Arrange for someone else to pay your fee. If you have a sponsor for your course then we can invoice the sponsor instead, however the sponsor must provide us with a purchase order or letter on headed paper stating your name and student number, the course, the duration and the amount of sponsorship to fees@cumbria.ac.uk

• SELF PAY Pay yourself through our online payment portals. See the links below

Accommodation & Catering Packages

Accommodation is billed termly based on the number of weeks from the start of the term to the start of the next. You will receive 3 invoices in Sept/Oct, January and April. Any deposit you pay will be offset against the final payment (you will receive an invoice for the full amount but you need only pay the balance which you will see when you log on to make payment). If you have any queries about the amount of your invoice then you need to contact the relevant accommodation team:

lancasteraccom@cumbria.ac.uk ; carlisleaccom@cumbria.ac.uk ; amblesideaccom@cumbria.ac.uk

If you have signed up for a catering package, then this will be split into 2 invoices in Sept/Oct and in January. The upload of credit to your Cumbria Card will be made in 2 equal instalments in Sept and Dec (as long as payment for the September invoice has been received). Any deposit you pay will be offset against the final (January) payment (you will receive an invoice for the full amount but you need only pay the balance).
