At registration, students should:
1) Pay the fees due – please refer to the “Methods of Payment”
2) Present satisfactory evidence that they hold a grant, award, loan or sponsorship letter * by which all or part of their tuition fees will be paid directly to the University; or
3) Provide an undertaking that they will make an immediate application for fee support from an appropriate award agency (see below under “Award Agencies”); or
4) Make a formal arrangement to pay any balance of fees by instalments
*Please note that for students who are being sponsored it will be necessary to provide Finance with a copy of your signed sponsorship letter by scanning and emailing it to accrec@strath.ac.uk marked for the attention of R.Kiely.
Students are expected to have paid their full annual fee, or to have made alternative arrangements to pay by instalments by the end of the calendar month in which they are due to register.
Detailed information about Registration can be found at Student Experience and Enhancement Services.
In accordance with University regulations, all students become liable for payment of the full tuition fee on registration.
Some UK students (e.g. many Scottish-domiciled undergraduate students) will have their tuition fee paid on their behalf by an awards agency but it is important that such students make a prompt application to the relevant authority for fee support (see below). Please also note that applications for fee support from award agencies must be made every year – awards are not renewed automatically. In most cases, this application process will also allow undergraduate students to apply for a student loan if this is required.
New undergraduate students from England, Wales or Northern Ireland who are liable to a pay the RUK tuition fee rate can apply for support from the Strathclyde Access Bursary. Information on the Bursary can be found on this link
