Pay my fees


How to pay your tuition or accommodation fees

How much are my fees? 

You can view your tuition and accommodation fees on Campus Connect on the 'My Invoices' card.

If a parent or guardians are paying fees on behalf of a student, it is the responsibility of the student to inform parents or guardians of their fee amount by sharing the information available to them on Campus Connect. If a parent or guardians is making a payment, it is important that students provide their Royal Holloway student ID so that the payment can be matched to their financial account. 

Have you applied as International Study Group Centre or applied via an agent through our partner Study Group? If so DO NOT pay your deposit to Royal Holloway as it will not be accepted - you must make a deposit payment VIA STUDY GROUP ONLY.

Study Group deposit payment must be paid via https://pay.studygroup.com/login and refer to details in your offer letter or email studentpayments@studygroup.com for help.

Don’t get caught out by fraudsters! Please take care when deciding how to pay your fees. Fraudsters specifically target students so take care not to put yourself at risk. Follow our preferred ways of paying your fees, as they are safe and secure - if you choose to use an alternative route of payment you may put your money, and yourself, at risk. How might you get caught out? Find out here.

The university cannot accept payment from any sanctioned individual or organisation.

Paying by bank transfer

UK and international bank transfers are via the ePay (Flywire) solution being RHUL’s preferred method, as detailed above.

However, an alternative international bank transfer method to the ePay (Flywire) solution being RHUL’s preferred method, as detailed above, is in partnership with Convera GlobalPay. This cannot be used for UK bank transfers. If you make such payment via Convera, ask your bank to quote:

  • Student’s name.
  • Student’s nine digit reference number.
  • What the payment is for (e.g. tuition, accommodation, other)
  • Make the transfer with all handling charges for the account of the payer.

Make sure your payment is processed by your bank at least five working days before it is due. To minimise the risks around fraud and money laundering to both the student and the University, we strongly discourage students from making direct bank transfers to the University. Direct bank transfers should only be used on request, and in exceptional circumstances. Students are expected to pay their University fees using one of the preferred payment methods above.

Please note you cannot make payments to the university using Convera GlobalPay if you, or the payer, is resident in and/or the payment is originating from any of the following areas: 

  • Afghanistan
  • Belarus
  • Cuba
  • Crimea Region
  • Donetsk Region
  • Iran
  • Luhansk Region
  • North Korea
  • Russia
  • Syria
  • Venezuela

When making a payment yourself, ask your bank to quote:

  • Student’s name.
  • Student’s nine digit reference number.
  • What the payment is for (e.g tuition instalment, full fee, accommodation)
  • Make the transfer with all handling charges for the account of the payer.
