No. If your offer is conditional, you must meet all the conditions of your offer and receive an unconditional offer before paying your deposit. We cannot issue a CAS to any student with a conditional offer as it is not possible to apply for a student visa with a conditional offer.

If you decide to defer your offer to the next academic year, you will be required to pay the CAS deposit as part of the deferral process, even if your offer is still conditional.

The minimum that needs to be paid for your CAS deposit is 50% of your course fees. The maximum amount you can pay is the full tuition fee for your course.

To pay by credit or debit card, please visit www.solent.ac.uk/pay. UK or international bank transfers can be made using https://solentu.flywire.com.

For more information, see our payments page.

Yes, if you pay online through www.solent.ac.uk/pay or https://solentu.flywire.com.

The payment will also be included on the CAS which is issued in order for you to make your student visa application.

The University does not issue receipts in hard copy.

It is recommended that only make one payment if possible.

The CAS deposit requirement is waived for students whose fees will be fully paid by a recognised sponsor, upon receipt of appropriate evidence. A copy of the sponsorship letter must be provided.

The University will only accept sponsorship letters from recognised sponsors (overseas governments, international businesses, universities, trusts and charities, etc) and not from friends or family members. If your family will pay your tuition fees, you or your family must pay the deposit.

For further details please visit our payments page.

We can waive the deposit requirement for students from the USA who will receive loans from Federal Student Aid, providing the full cost of your tuition fees is covered by the loan.

CAS deposits will be automatically waived once your US Federal Student Aid Loan has been certified. If you have any queries about the US Federal Student Aid process, you can email student.funding@solent.ac.uk.

If you have been awarded a full tuition fee scholarship (100% of your tuition fees) by the Solent University, we will waive the requirement for a tuition fee deposit. You must confirm acceptance of your scholarship. No other documentation is required.

For partial scholarships (less than 100% of your tuition fees), a deposit is still required or proof of a sponsorship letter from a recognised sponsor confirming funding of the remaining fees.

If 100% of your tuition fees will be covered by recognised funding bodies – including Solent University, one or more recognised sponsors, or US Federal Student Aid – the tuition fee deposit will be waived.

As evidence of your commitment to studying at Solent while in the UK, Solent University policy requires overseas students to pay 50% of their fees before they register each year.

Payment plans are not available for the first 50% of overseas tuition fees
