Student Academic Fees
Your student fees must be paid in full on or before matriculation at the start of each new academic year, unless you are paying by instalment. The payment options available to you will depend on how you are funding your studies.
Information on Invoices and My Finance
We are upgrading our finance systems. Due to this, invoices may be delayed, My finance is now available.
Invoices
We will start to issue student invoices from 5th September 2022. If you know how much you need to pay, you can still pay your tuition fees before you receive your invoice.
If you have given us card details for an instalment plan, this will not be set up until your invoice has been issued. If you have not received your payment plan confirmation by 26 September, you will need to pay your first 50% instalment amount manually by 3 October.
My finance
My finance is now reopen. You can use it to make payments for fees.
If you can't see a payment applied to your invoice on the system, please allow a couple of days before trying to view it again. Our team is actively working on this.
We are still in the process of charging some fees, so you may not see an invoice when you log in initially. The Fees and Student Support Team are working actively on this and hope to have all fees charged by the end of September.
Deposit payments have still to be recorded on the system. These will be deducted from your tuition fee invoices in the next two weeks.
Please be aware that sponsor invoices may not appear on your account until end of September.
If you have any problems making a payment, you can contact the EdHelp team via their website edin.ac/edhelp or by calling 0131 651 5151 and selecting the option for questions regarding fee payments (phone lines open Monday to Friday, 10am to 4.30pm)
