How to pay - FAQ's

Upon successful completion of the registration process, an invoice will be sent to your registered email address. This correspondence will serve as confirmation of your tuition fees and specify the due date for payment.

It is essential to note that the invoice will not provide details about fee waivers, scholarships, or prior payments made. No subsequent documents reflecting updated financial information will be issued.

The remaining balance stipulated in the invoice is to be paid in full within 28 days from the date of issue. Alternatively, you have the option to commence an instalment plan, allowing for the payment of the remaining balance in three instalments.

The responsibility to ensure timely settlement of the tuition fee invoice rests with the student. Failure to settle the outstanding debt may result in losing access to university facilities. These facilities may not be reinstated until the account has been bought up to date.

Tuition fees can be paid through various payment methods, including bank transfer, web payments, or via Convera.

To set up an installment plan, students are required to initiate the process by sending an email to the Income Section, Finance team. Upon receipt of the invoices, a formal request for an installment plan can be submitted by sending an email to incomesection@wlv.ac.uk. It is essential to include your student number and full name in the email for identification and processing purposes.

The University will facilitate the reimbursement of any overpayment upon the submission of a written request by emailing the Income Section, Finance team at incomesection@wlv.ac.uk. In cases where a third party has settled your fees, any refund may be sent directly to that third party.

For applicants who cancel their contract with the University before commencing their course, a complete refund of course fees and any additional charges already paid is permissible, as outlined in the offer booklet. A 14-day cooling-off period is granted from the course's start date, during which, should a student decide to withdraw or transfer to another institution, a refund of any directly pre-paid course fees will be granted.

The calculation of any refund will be conducted in consideration of the circumstances at the termination of the contract, adhering to the terms stipulated in the policy. In the rare event that the University is unable to facilitate the continuation of study, a refund will be considered.

International students are typically obligated to submit a non-refundable deposit, except in specific circumstances, including:

• Visa refusal directly resulting from a University of Wolverhampton administrative error.
• Non-commencement of the applied-for course with no suitable alternative available.

Refunds for deposits will not be considered in cases where visa refusal stems from errors on the applicant's part, such as failure to present qualifications, non-compliance with maintenance requirements, delayed visa requests, or the applicant's decision not to pursue studies at the University. Furthermore, no refund will be granted if the application is deemed fraudulent.

To initiate a refund on their deposit, students are required to contact international admissions. Once the refund request is authorized by international admissions, the finance team will proceed to process the refund.

In the event of withdrawing from a program of study at the University, it is imperative to acknowledge that the obligation to fulfill tuition fees remains. The specific amount of tuition fees to be charged is contingent upon two critical factors: the officially reported date of withdrawal to the Taught Student Administration and the nature of the academic program. The university's policies dictate fee adjustments or refunds based on the withdrawal date, and the financial implications vary based on the program, including distinct fee structures such as fixed annual fees, per-term fees, or fees determined by the credit load.
