How often do I pay?
UK students pay accommodation fees in three instalments - normally in October, January and April/May. To see the payment dates you chose when you accepted your room offer, go to your accommodation online account and view your room offer, then the instalments section.
However, if you prefer to get it out of the way, you can pay all your fees in one go before you arrive or when you move in. You should contact the Income Team by emailing income.team@solent.ac.uk to arrange this.
Please note: All international students must pay their accommodation fees in full before they move into their room.
Separate arrangements are made for merchant navy students which is available at the time you accept your room offer or by contacting the Income Team.
Can I change my payment details?
Yes. If you tell us early enough before an instalment is due to be taken, then we can change the payment details you have given us. To do this please use the link below:
