Register how to pay your fees

Hi. In this video, I'm going to walk you through how to register to pay your fees. I'm going to cover how to complete the online registration form with all of your payment options and answer some of your frequently asked questions. Like when you can expect your invoices, when are your payment deadlines? How do you navigate MyFinance? What you do if your invoices wrong? and how do you protect yourself against fraud? 

This video should help you understand how to navigate paying your fees, but we recommend you have to look at University of Edinburgh Finance page for more information. The tuition fees registration process is an online form that lets the University's finance team know how you're going to pay your fees. You'll need to fill it out at the beginning of every academic year. You won't need to immediately pay your fees before starting university, but completing this form is a requirement for the matriculation process. 

Once you've logged in using your MyEd login information, the form will be preset with your student number, name, and e mail address. You'll need to fill it in your level of study and what type of funding you have. Self funded students are paying their own tuition or getting financial help from family or friends. Self funded students have the option to pay their fees in one payment, by card or bank transfer, or to set up an installment plan. If you do this, you'll need to provide card information for the recurring card payment. But if your fees are 500 pounds or less or you're paying module fees, the installment plan is not an option. Externally funded students include anyone receiving UK government funding or international education loans, and internally funded students are receiving funding or scholarship from university. If these aids cover your full tuition costs, you can complete the rest of the form with the requested information and you're good to go. If it only covers part of your fees, you'll need to pay the remaining amount in full or with an installment plan. 

The next page will give you some more information about the payment options you've selected. Depending on your selections, it may ask you some additional questions as well. Once you've read through the information and answered the questions, you can review your selections and submit the form. You can expect to receive your invoice emailed to your student account only after you've completed the student matriculation process, and you'll only be sent an invoice if you're responsible for paying all or part of your tuition fees. 

Your student fees must be paid in full within 30 days of getting your invoice, unless you're paying by installment. If you're not planning to pay your fees in full within 30 days, you have seven days to complete the online form to let the finance team know how you're going to pay. The due dates for your installment plan payments are adjusted based on when you received your invoice. 

Remember, the start of term is a really busy time for our finance team, so don't worry if your invoice is a bit delayed. You can find the installment plan due dates on the finance page of Edinburgh University website. This table will be updated yearly. You can also access all your finance information through MyEd. Log in and go to accounts and to MyFinance. 

This page will show all your payments and invoices. To see your payments, click student fees and all items from the dropdown menu. You can also make payments by clicking the payment button. But if you have an installment plan, you don't need to physically make payments here because an automatic request will be sent to the cards you provided on the due date. If you've received your invoice and are worried it isn't correct, there's a couple of things we advise you to check. 

Firstly, please note that your invoice will not reflect deposits made or any payments made prior to receiving your invoice. So while your invoice may still request your full fee amount, make sure you check MyFinance to ensure your prior payments and deposits appear there, which can then subtract from your invoice. If they don't, please reach out to our finance team by contacting the e mail on screen. If you've been sent an invoice, but aren't supposed to pay, for example, if your fees will be paid by Sponsor or SAS or SLC, please contact our fees team through the form linked here. 

Student fees can be quite a lot of money, so it's important to protect yourself against fraud. Don't give your money to someone else to pay for you. Don't give your payment portal login, and password information to anyone else. Everyone is at risk, so be aware of common scams and how to protect yourself. We recommend you have a look at the link on the screen to learn more about protecting yourself against fraud.

 I hope this video helps you understand a bit more about how to pay your student fees. Please have a browse through our finance page to get some more information on your payment options and get answers to any other questions you might have. If there's anything left unanswered, you can always contact our Ed help team, send an email to our finance department, or call the limited phone service. We also offer online teams meetings for help. So reach out to the finance team to set one up if the need arises. But as the start of term becomes quite busy, we recommend you have to look at our web pages and Ed helps FAQs and chat up first. Thank you.
