    The Finance Office at Harper Adams University processes all payments relating to accommodation and tuition fees and is the first point of contact for students with any finance-based questions.

    The information below gives a brief outline of the ways to pay and associated charges.

    Tuition fees

    Ways to pay

    If you have applied for a Tuition Fee Loan from Student Finance, your fees will be paid directly to the University on your behalf. Once Student Finance has assessed your loan application you will receive a letter of entitlement which you will be asked to upload during the fees and course sections of the online enrolment process.

    Undergraduates who are not in receipt of a Student Finance Tuition Fee Loan, your University Fees can be paid in full at the beginning of the year of study or in three termly instalments, by the deadlines given below. To request to pay termly, please access the Payment Gateway and select your fees to be paid by Recurring Card Payment (RCP) using a debit/credit card.

    Termly instalment dates Amount due Semester 1
    (September/October starters)
    Semester 2
    (February starters)
    Instalment 1 34% 12th October 2026 22nd February 2027
    Instalment 2 33% 18th Jaunary 2027 31st May 2027
    Instalment 3 33% 26th April 2027 29th November 2027

    Fee Liability

    If, for whatever reason, you decide to leave your course of study at a mid-point during the academic year, a proportion of the University fees will still be chargeable. The following University fee liability points apply:

    Fee liability Semester 1
    (September/October starters)
    Semester 2
    (February starters)
    No liability Up to and including 2nd October 2026 TBC
    25% liability 3rd October 2026 to 11th January 2027 TBC
    50% liability 12th January 2027 to 26th April 2027 TBC
    100% liability 27th April 2027 to end of academic year TBC

    If you have a Tuition Fee Loan we will adjust the loan amount to reflect the amount of fee chargeable at the withdrawal date. If fees are paid by another means the Finance Office will calculate what is owed (either by you or is required to be returned by the University) and inform you. You must ensure that you have taken the necessary steps to ensure that your leaving date is correctly recorded. The withdrawal procedure is detailed in the Key Information pages and is available from Student Records studentrecords@harper-adams.ac.uk

    Your room deposit (£300) must be paid before registration day. You can also choose to pay your entire accommodation charge either on or before registration day to receive a discount alternatively you may choose to pay in three termly instalments via recurring card payment (RCP).

    Accommodation payment dates Amount due Semester 1

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How soon can I pay?

    You will receive an invoice for tuition fees no later than October 2026 and payments can be made for tuition fees by credit/debit card or online via our Payment Gateway.

    What is the quickest way to make payments on Registration day if I have not already paid in advance?

    Finance staff will be available at drop-in sessions during Welcome Week to help  set up a recurring card payment or assist you to make a payment online.

    When can I apply for a student loan?

    You can now apply for Student Finance for courses starting in September 2026.

    You should try to do this as soon as possible as applications can take up to 8 weeks to be processed.

    I have applied for a student loan but haven’t heard anything?

    You can contact Student Records via email: studentrecords@harper-adams.ac.uk  or by telephone on 01952 815320. Members of the Student Records and Finance teams will be available to talk to at drop-in sessions during Welcome Week.
