Payment of Fees
Fees (both University and College fees) are paid to a student's College, rather than the University centrally. If you have any queries about payment options and timeframes, please contact your College Accounts office:
Non-Payment of Fees
The University has now introduced a new policy for the non-payment of tuition fees (Statute B I). The full Ordinance, policy and guidance are published online in Reporter, 6724, 10 January 2024 (available here: Joint Report of the Council and the General Board on changes to Statute B I on non‑payment of University Composition Fees).
This should be read in conjunction with the subsequent Notice published in Reporter, 6729, 14 February 2024 (available here: Notice in response to Discussion remarks).
Copies of the necessary operational documents can be obtained by contacting the University's Fee Policy Manager at feestatusandpolicy@admin.cam.ac.uk.
University Tuition Fee Status
All English universities are required to follow Government regulations when assessing a student’s fee status prior to the start of their degree course. For more information about fee status assessments, including the review and appeal process for offer holders and current students (undergraduate and postgraduate), please visit the Fee Status web pages.
Undergraduate Fees
Information for prospective students, including estimates of living costs, is available on the Undergraduate Admissions website, and is updated annually to reflect costs in the next academic year.
University fees for current students are published on the Academic and Financial Planning and Analysis (AFPA) website.
Information about other undergraduate student costs is usually provided on College websites or from College Tutorial Offices. This includes information relating to the Student Loan Company (SLC), the Cambridge Bursary Scheme, and studying for a second degree.
Note that for students eligible to receive public support for fees, fees are charged in line with SLC payments in instalments of 25%:25%:50% respectively per term.
Postgraduate Fees
Information for prospective students on estimated costs (University Composition Fee and maintenance) can be found on the Postgraduate Admissions Finance web page.
The University Composition Fee for current students is published on the Academic and Financial Planning and Analysis (AFPA) website.
