Funding from the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man | Finance

If you receive funding for your tuition fees from the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, you must send your award letter to the Fees and Student Support team.

How to apply for a student academic fees loan

If you live on Jersey, Guernsey or the Isle of Man you should apply directly to your local Student Finance body for undergraduate or postgraduate funding.

You won’t be eligible for funding from the UK Student Loans Company through Student Finance.

If the loan does not cover the full amount of your tuition, you will need to pay the remaining amount yourself.

How to pay your student academic fees

Send the Fees and Student Support team your award letter

Once your funding has been confirmed, you should send a copy of your award letter to the Fees and Student Support Team, as soon as possible and before you begin the online registration process.

Email the Fees and Student Support team

After we receive your award letter, we will invoice your funding provider, and they will pay your student academic fees directly to the University.

Register online as a student and arrange payment of your student academic fees

As part of matriculation, you will need to complete online registration and either confirm your funding or arrange payment of your student academic fees. This is a required step in the registration process, and in most cases, you will be able to pay in instalments.

Funding confirmed

If your funding has been confirmed before you begin the registration process but does not cover the full student academic fees, you can pay the remaining balance by card, bank transfer, online payment, or by setting up an instalment plan to complete registration.

Funding unconfirmed

If we have not received your award letter before you begin registration, you will need to provide card details to continue with the registration process. These details will be used to set up an instalment plan for your student academic fees payments.

Once you have completed registration and we have received and verified your funding evidence, we will invoice your funding provider. If your funding does not cover the full student academic fees, you can pay the remaining balance either by keeping the instalment plan set up during online student registration or by paying the full amount through My finance channel once your invoice has been issued.

How to complete your student registration

You will receive an email to your University of Edinburgh email account to let you know when you can access the online registration form and pay your student academic fees.

Payment options

Pay in instalments

To pay in instalments you will need to provide card details and other information, including the cardholder’s address. We will use the card details you provide to set up an instalment plan and take payment on scheduled dates.

Instalment dates will be displayed during online student registration for reference. These dates may change if your plan cannot be set up before the first payment is due. If this happens, we will email you and the revised payment schedule will appear in My finance channel in MyEd.

Once you have registered and your invoice has been issued, your instalment plan will be set up and the payment dates and amounts will appear in My finance, usually within one working day.

Do not make any other form of payment method against this instalment seven days prior to its due date to prevent being charged twice.

Pay in full

You can pay in full during online student registration using a credit or debit card, by Flywire bank transfer or an online payment platform.

If, after registering, you decide to pay your student academic fees in full instead of instalments, you can do so through My finance channel in MyEd.

Do not make any other form of payment method against an existing instalment seven days prior to its due date to prevent being charged twice.
