How to Pay Accommodation Charges and Deposits
Accommodation Charges
Your Notification of Account will give details of your room, the amounts you
are due to pay each term and the dates that these payments are due. All
accommodation charges are paid termly, in advance.
Payment can be made on line and a discount of £16 per term is available if
you pay by this means by the due date. This is a secure link using a credit card
and in order to take advantage of this method of payment you will need your PRID
e.g. SMITH12345 which is shown on your Notification of Account. You will also
need to have a University log on name and password in order to see the full
details of the account. New students will have to register in order to obtain
a log on name and can pay using the internet after registration in October.
Pay your accommodation charges
online by debit or credit card.
Alternatively you can pay by cheque or credit/debit card (except American
Express or Diners Club) in the Income Office or by post. Cheques should be made
payable to 'University of Essex' and mail should be addressed to Income Office,
Finance Section, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester CO4 3 SQ. The Income office is
open from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday.
Deposits
A deposit is required to secure an allocation and this is paid directly to
the Accommodation Office. Details of how you intend to pay should be entered on
your offer acceptance form. Payment may be by credit card (except American
Express and Diners Club), cheque in pounds sterling or bank draft in pounds
sterling. Cheques and drafts should be made payable to 'University of Essex' and
your PG / UCAS number should be written on the reverse or attached to all methods
of payment. Chevening Scholars are not required to send a deposit.
Once you have submitted a deposit it can only be refunded if you notify the
Accommodation Office in writing that you no longer require the accommodation by
Thursday 1 September 2012 or your academic application is rejected by the
University. A deduction of £25 will be made to cover
administrative costs.
