If payment is not received by the date stipulated, you will become a debtor and recovery action will be initiated. You should try and pay as much as you can by the deadline in the reminder letter.
International students
If you are unable to clear the balance you need speak with an International Experience Adviser with details of what has changed since you enrolled and provide supporting evidence. Book the earliest available appointment with the International Experience team by contacting Hallam Help.
UK students
If you are unable to clear the balance you need to let the Invoicing Team know by emailing Invoicing@shu.ac.uk with details of what has changed since you enrolled and provide supporting evidence. Payment plans are only granted in exceptional circumstances.
All students
Please note that you may lose access to IT facilities, and if we still receive no payment we will withdraw you from your course of study and may instigate formal external recovery action.
Once you are withdrawn from your course of study you will no longer be a student at the University and you will have to re-apply if you wish to undertake any further study with us. Your debt will remain payable even after you have been withdrawn.
We may inform the relevant funding body that you have been withdrawn from your course of study. If you are an international student who is sponsored for visa purposes by the University, we will cease your sponsorship and you will be reported to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) as withdrawn from the University.
If you are in debt to the University for tuition fees and have not been withdrawn, you will not be allowed to enrol for the next academic year until the debts are paid. You may also not be allowed to enrol on a new course.
If you are in your final year of your course, you will not be awarded your certificate, issued with a letter of confirmation of award, or be allowed to attend your graduation ceremony until you have paid all your tuition fee debts. Please refer to the Assessment of Students in Debt Policy for further guidance and details.
