Please note: Any arrangement made between you and a sponsor to pay your tuition fees is an agreement between you and the sponsor. If your sponsor does not pay the tuition fees, you will be personally liable to pay the fees yourself.
The University will then invoice you directly and you will have to to either pay in full or set up a self-payment plan that is acceptable to the University at that stage in the academic year.
Family members are not regarded as sponsors but may pay tuition fees to the University with your agreement via the Convera payment platform.
Payments from family members are deemed to be payments made by the student and may be made on an instalment basis.
There is no direct contract or binding arrangement between the family member and the University.
