Invoices and Payment Procedures
UCL charges a tuition fee which covers registration, tuition and supervision for each academic year or part of an academic year that a student is enrolled. When a student accepts a place to study at UCL they assume responsibility for the payment of their tuition fees. A student must therefore have sufficient financial resources available in this country to meet the fees, maintenance and other expenses that may be incurred throughout their programme of study. A student may have part or all of these fees paid by the Student Loans Company (SLC) or other sponsoring body.
The fee levels can be found on the 2012/13 Fee Schedule (fees for subsequent years are subject to increase).
For fee enquiries or further information please contact the Student Fees Office.

New UK/EU Students Eligible for Support under the UK Government's Student Support Scheme
UK Students:
- UK undergraduate students are eligible to apply for a fees loan to pay part of or the entire £9,000 tuition fee. Students will be expected to pay at least 50% of their fees to enable them to fully enrol if they have not applied for a fees loan. Students failing to do this or to provide proof of sponsorship will be enrolled on a 'Time Limited' basis until 31 October.
EU Students:
- EU undergraduate students are normally eligible to apply for a tuition fee loan from the UK government, depending on certain eligibility requirements. The loan will cover the cost of your tuition fees whilst you are studying and is repayable once you have finished studying and are earning a 'graduate' salary which is set by the UK government. The loan does not normally cover your living costs unless you have been living in the UK for the last three years and you will be expected to support yourself whilst you are studying. As with UK students, if we have not received confirmation from the SLC at the beginning of the academic year that funding has been applied for, you will be expected to pay at least 50% of the outstanding fee to be fully enrolled. Students failing to do this, or provide proof of sponsorship will be enrolled on a 'Time Limited' basis. Information relating to Student Fee Loans for both UK and EU students can be found here.

Paying Your Tuition Fee
Your tuition fee will normally be quoted on your offer letter, unless you are a Modular student.
Students Enrolling in the Autumn Term
- You can pay your tuition fee in two equal instalments and no more than two are permitted. You must pay at least 50% of your tuition fee before or at enrolment to become fully enrolled, or provide a letter of sponsorship indicating who should be invoiced for your fees. If at least 50% of the amount due is not paid at this point, the student will receive Time Limited Enrolment. The second instalment is due by 1 February (within the same academic year). It is not necessary to complete an application form or pay a fee in order to pay by instalments; paying 50% of fees due at enrolment will amend our system.
Students Enrolling On or After 1 January
- You must pay your tuition fee in full in order to enrol. No instalments are permitted.
Please note - tuition fees are a student's responsibility. If a student is not paying the fees, it is still their responsibility to inform the Student Fees Office of their sponsor's details. If tuition fee payments are not made on time, a student's registration with UCL will be in jeopardy.
Overseas Undergraduate Students
New overseas self-financing undergraduate students are offered the facility of paying for their whole programme of study in advance at the start of their first year, with the level of fee fixed at that of their first year of study. Applications to pay in this way should be made, in writing, to UCL's Fees and Credit Control Manager prior to the start of the programme of study and payment must be made in full before, or at, enrolment.
Invoices and Receipts
Students can print invoices and receipts from the tuition fees page of their financial statement within Portico.
Sponsored Students
Any student expecting all or part of their fees to be paid by a sponsor/supporting body must send a copy of award/assessment letter to Student Fees and Credit Control (Room G19, South Wing, Gower St, London, WC1E 6BT) or complete and have their sponsor sign a Financial Undertaking Form (Word format). On receipt of proof of sponsorship, an invoice will be issued to your sponsor. They are expected to pay within 28 days of invoice date. Sponsors are not permitted to pay fees in instalments. Any student who has not provided proof of full sponsorship or who has not applied to the SLC for funding will be expected to pay at least 50% of the fee prior to or at enrolment.
Time Limited Enrolment
Students who do not pay their fees or provide proof of sponsorship at enrolment will be given 'Time Limited Enrolment'. This gives you full enrolment until 31 October, but failure to pay at least 50% of the fee due or provide proof of sponsorship during this period will result in enrolment being suspended. You will be warned, via your UCL email account, 14 days before the end of your Time Limited Enrolment that you must pay or face suspension. Your department will also be made aware of your situation. Reinstatement of registration will only take place once fees or proof of sponsorship have been received and a reinstatement fee of £150 has been paid. There is a limited time in which reinstatement will be permitted.
Payment Methods
Any student responsible for the payment of their fees can make payment in any of the following ways:
Credit/Debit Card
- On-line: Students can log on to the Portico website using their UCL log-in and pay securely on-line using credit and debit cards (American Express, Diners Club and JCB are NOT accepted). New students without a UCL log-in can use the alternative on-line payment facility.
