Payments

Payment is due in full at enrolment unless you are paying by direct debit or wish to claim the Early Payment Discount.

Please note that your library and computer access will be restricted on 1 November if by that date you have not paid your tuition fee in full, or completed a direct debit mandate, or provided evidence that a sponsor or the Student Loans Company are paying your tuition fee. If you are waiting for confirmation of sponsorship, or student loan company assessment/tuition fee loan, then please contact the fees office to discuss possible extensions to your access to college facilities. Continued failure to pay or provide evidence of sponsorship/loans will result in your registration as a student of Goldsmiths being withdrawn. You will not be considered for re-registration until all monies owed to the college have been paid in full.

Paying by direct debit

If you are on an award-bearing programme of at least one years duration and your tuition fee is over £150 you can pay in 5 monthly instalments by direct debit. Direct debit payments can only be made from a bank account with a UK sort code. Some building society accounts may not accept direct debits. If in doubt please contact your bank or building society before completing the mandate. For your enrolment to be validated you must return a completed direct debit mandate by end of September, your first payment will be debited in October.

Once completed, please return the direct debit mandate, ensuring that you have entered the student reference number. If the account holder is not the student, please complete the form attached to the mandate. Please note that any default in payment will result in immediate liability for payment of outstanding fees in full. Instalments are only available by Direct Debit, no other instalment facilities are available to you.

You will receive notification of the payment plan at least 10 days before payment is taken. However, it is your responsibility to check the first payment is paid.

If you have any queries about direct debit payments, please telephone 020 7078 5311 or e-mail fees (@gold.ac.uk). Please note a new mandate must be completed each year.

Paying by cheque

Payment must be made in full. Cheques must be in UK pounds sterling, and made payable to "Goldsmiths College". Cheques should be received by enrolment. Please print your name and student reference number on the reverse of the cheque.

Paying by credit card or debit card

Payment by credit or debit card is accepted. Payment must be made in full at the time of enrolment. For more information telephone the Fees Office 020 7078 5311.

Overseas students who want to pay by credit card should make arrangements with their card company in advance. This should reduce the time taken to pay when you enrol.

Early Payment Discount Scheme

If the tuition fee for your programme this session is £5200 or more and you pay your fee in full by the last Friday in the August before enrolment, you are entitled to a discount of 2.5% on the fee due. If you are paying by direct transfer to Goldsmith’s bank you should be aware that transfer of funds can take up to four weeks. You should therefore ensure that you allow sufficient time for the transfer. You must also provide proof of payment to the Finance Office. You should add sufficient money to cover bank charges and ensure your name is clearly stated on the payment instruction. The discount is only available to self-financing students. Further details will be sent to you with your enrolment instructions.

Student Loans for Home/EU Students

Student Loan Company maintenance payments are paid direct to the student's bank account when you have enroled and shown the college your payment schedule letter. This has a bar code on it, which will be scanned at enrolment. Information is then sent to the Student Loans Company (SLC) who will pay the first instalment of your loan directly to your bank or building society account within three working days. Please be aware that payments cannot be made in advance of your programme start date.

The SLC must have correct details of your bank or building society account to make your payment. This information is required well in advance of your first day of term. Please ensure you have completed the bank/building society details form sent to you by the SLC or telephone the SLC helpline on 0800 405010 or minicom 0800 085 3950.

There will be directions by the entrance to the great hall, which will explain where to go to have your letter scanned, during enrolment week.

Students are advised to apply to their Local Authority (or SLC European team) each April to increase the chances of payments being made on time. Tuition fee loan payments are made direct to the college.
