conditions you must also meet these before we can issue you a CAS. Any
non-academic conditions will be listed in your Offer Letter and may include:
- Under 18 declarations
- Interview
- Proof of non-academic qualifications
Pay your Deposit (if applicable)
If you are required to be a deposit it will be indicated in
your Offer Letter.
You should pay your deposit as soon as possible to secure
your place and allow enough time for payments to clear, and for the University
to release your CAS that is required for you to apply for your visa.
The preferred and quickest way to pay is online via our payment
platform.
For alternative methods please visit the ‘paying your fees’ pages of your Applicant
Portal. If you are paying via bank transfer, then you must include your full
name and Student ID in the reference. Where possible, we advise paying your
deposit in one single payment.
Please note that you may pay your deposit whether your offer
is Unconditional or Conditional. Please read the
deposit and refund sections of the terms and conditions prior to making any
payment.
US Federal Loan recipients (if applicable)
If you are receiving US Federal Loans to fund your studies,
then you may be exempt from paying part or all of your deposit. You may only
commit 50% of your total loan amount toward your deposit and therefore the
following applies:
- If you are borrowing at least the $USD equivalent of £33,500 via US Federal Loan funding, this will be payable direct to the University and exempt you from any deposit requirement.
- If you are borrowing less than the $USD equivalent of £33,500, 50% of this will be payable direct to the University to cover part of your deposit contribution. You will be required to pay the remaining balance to ensure you satisfy the £16,750 deposit requirement.
The University can help inform you if and how much
contribution you will be required to pay to ensure that you satisfy the deposit
requirement needed to release your CAS. More information of Federal Loans and
paying your deposit can be found here.
