Accommodation Fees

If you have a UK bank account one of the easiest ways to pay is to set up a direct debit so your accommodation payments are pre-set and come out of your bank account on 3 specific dates: 

2024/2025 Payment dates (42-week):

• October 2022
• January 2023
• April 2023

2024/2025 Payment dates (52-week)

• October 2024
• January 2025
• April 2025
• July 2025

If you want to find out more about this method of payment please contact the Income Section of the Finance Department at IncomeSection@wlv.ac.uk or 01902 321256.

Online

Payments can be made online here. 

If you are feeling prepared and planning on paying in advance of your invoice, please type ADVANCE in the Invoice Number field.

This payment will be allocated to your account and matched against your accommodation invoice.

At a campus cashier

Payments can be made by cash, cheque or debit/credit card.

Cashiers' office is located in the Housman Building, Camp Street,  Wolverhampton, WV1 1AD.

Bank transfer

This method is recommended for international students, in particular for the advanced rent prepayment.

All payments to the University must be made in pounds sterling.

It might seem obvious but we have to mention that you will be required to meet any bank charges relating to the transfer.

“If you are an International Student arriving to take up occupancy of an accommodation room, please ensure that you book and pay your Advance Rent payment prior to you arriving at University Accommodation, if you do arrive on Campus and have not pre-booked your University Accommodation, please be advised that you are not able to make any cash payments on Campus.  We also recommend that you do not walk around the Campuses with large amounts of cash on your person.”.

As soon as you have arrived in the accommodation you will be sent an invoice for your residential year and outlined on the invoice will be the instalment dates and values you need to pay.

If you have not paid your fees by the due date you will be sent email reminder letters from the Income Section in the finance team.

Struggling to pay the fees in the set instalments

Upon receiving your initial invoice and you would like help to break down the fees into more regular and smaller payments, please go to the accommodation office at each site and they can set you up a payment plan to assist with the management of this. Finance will be sent a copy of the payment plan and your financial account will be adjusted, if you continue to adhere to the agreed payment plan you will not receive any further reminder emails from the Income Section. If at any point during the agreed period you are unable to make payment please come inform the accommodation team straight away, if no contact is received the email debt reminders will re commence.

The end of the residential year

After each rent instalment if you have not paid the set instalments you will be contacted by the accommodation team to let you know of this debt and to contact them as soon as possible to discuss this.

At the end of the residential year if you have any outstanding accommodation debt you will not be able to extend your stay past this date or return to the accommodation the following year until this has been cleared. At this point any debt that has not been paid you will be notified and be given a set period to make payment and if no payment has been received the debt will  be referred to the external debt collection agency STA. An administration fee of £200 will be allocated to your account for the debt being passed over from the University to the external company and then all communication regarding the debt will need to held with this company not the University.

Further information can be found in the living in Accommodation and the debt policy, these can be found on the  Downloadable Documents
