You'll need to pay your tuition fees directly to the University if you are self-funding your studies or if you have not applied for the maximum loan from the Student Loans Company (SLC).
York Online students: Your payment process is different. Please see the York Online FAQs for fees and payment details.
Tuition fee amounts
Refer to your offer letter for your full tuition fee amount. If you are having difficulty finding this, contact your Programme Administrator.
Placements and study abroad
Your tuition fee will be reduced if you go on a work placement or a study abroad exchange for a full academic year.
Tuition fee payments
Watch out for scammers - they're after your money: The University never offers discounts on tuition or accommodation fees through third parties.
Paying the University
- We do not accept payments in cash.
- If you are responsible for paying your tuition fees, an invoice will be sent to your University e:Vision account and you will be notified via your University of York email account.
- See paying the University for more information.
Paying by instalments
- You can pay in instalments, depending on the amount, duration of your studies, and whether you have a history of late payments. This is an automatic concession and does not have to be arranged with the Fees Office (see payment deadlines below).
- You can spread the cost by making monthly payments in advance of the instalment due dates by standing order from a UK bank account or regular one-off payments.
- Unfortunately, there is no facility to pay monthly by direct debit.
- If you're paying by instalments, you will not receive a reminder prior to the instalment dates.
- The University reserves the right to:
- refuse this concession to students with a history of late payments
- amend the instalment concession arrangements offered for any future academic year (any changes will be published in advance).

Problems paying tuition fees
We want to help. If you're experiencing any problems in paying your tuition fees, you must let the Fees Office know as soon as possible so that we can advise you on what you can do.

- The Student Hub can also advise on any additional sources of funding or loans available.
Please don't wait to advise us of any problems you're experiencing as this could have serious repercussions: you may be suspended from your studies and your credit status or immigration status may be seriously affected.
Invoices and payment confirmation
- We issue a tuition fee invoice to all international and postgraduate students.
- We don't issue tuition fee invoices to UK and EU undergraduate students until November.
