The most common way to pay halls fees is through instalments, provided you have set up a Recurring Card Payment Instruction (RCP) using an International or UK issued bank card. (Please note, if you are from the USA and will be fully funding your studies with Federal Student Loans, please do not set up an RCP as your hall fees will be deducted from your loans.)
If you do not have a RCP in place you will be required to pay the years' accommodation fees in full.
The University's halls fees instalment plan, with number of weeks' rent for each instalment, is as follows – please read the tables below to see which instalment plan you will be on:

If you choose to pay your halls rent in FULL, you should pay it by 4 October 2021. This payment can be made online by credit/debit card using the University's secure payment website.
If you are an international student, this payment can also be made using Kingston University's payments platform powered by our partner Western Union Business Solutions. This allows you, your parents and sponsors to pay GBP student fees in the currency of your choice and provides you with a simple and secure way to make your payment.
Please read the University's Money Matters booklets for full details.
A Recurring Card Payment Instruction (RCP) is a free and easy service that enables us to collect payments from your account automatically on the instalment dates detailed above.
You can set up a Recurring Card Payment (RCP) using either a UK or International issued bank card (but not a forex card).
If you require more information on how to set up an RCP we have created a helpful video on instalments which can be viewed in the 'Methods of Payment' section of our How to Pay Your Fees page.
Please contact the Finance Accounts Receivable team on +44 (0)20 8417 3333 if you need any help.
Remember: There must be enough money in your account to meet the payment at the time it is collected otherwise your bank may make a charge to your account for each default. If you cancel your RCP with your bank or the University, you forfeit the choice to pay by instalment and your full outstanding fee will become payable immediately. If you do not have a RCP in place you will be required to pay the years' accommodation fees in full.
