Payment by Direct Debit instalments

The Direct Debit instalment plan is not available to third party sponsors.

What is a Direct Debit?

A Direct Debit instruction authorises the University to take money directly from your bank account. A Direct Debit can only be set up from a UK bank account. Some accounts do not permit Direct Debits, please check with your bank if you are unsure.

The University will notify you by letter or e-mail 10 working days in advance of the first collection being made. This Advance Notice letter will detail the exact dates and amounts of the Direct Debit instalments that we will take from your account. Please retain this Advance Notice letter for your records.

Setting up a Direct Debit instruction

If you intend to pay your fees from your bank account a Direct Debit instruction can be set up online during financial registration through MyCampus.

If you are not the account holder, you will not be able to set up a Direct Debit online. In these circumstances you will need to download a paper direct debit form from the Direct Debit pages in My Campus. The account holder will then need to fill out and sign this paper Direct Debit form and send it by post to:

Accounts Receivable
Finance Office (Tay House)
University of Glasgow
GLASGOW G12 8QQ

You can opt to pay tuition fees, accommodation fees or both tuition and accommodation fees by Direct Debit. We offer eight instalments which will normally be collected around the 15^th of each month starting in October. Any deposits paid in advance will be deducted from your account before we calculate the instalment amounts.

Please ensure that you have sufficient funds to meet your Direct Debit payments. The bank will reject your Direct Debit and charge you penalties if there are insufficient cleared funds in your account on the day we collect the payment and we will also charge you a £20 fee for handling a rejected Direct Debit. This fee will automatically be added to the balance of any fees owed. Should more than one Direct Debit instalment be rejected we will cancel the instalment plan and the full balance of remaining fees will become due immediately.

If you wish to cancel your Direct Debit please do so by writing to your bank, please send a copy of your letter to the Student Accounts Recieivable Team by e-mail at MyCampus-fees@glasgow.ac.uk. If you cancel your Direct Debit instruction any balance of fees still outstanding will become payable in full immediately.
