Arranging Payment

College charges (‘Battels’) are payable by mid-day of the Friday of Week 1 of each Term. Your battels statement will be emailed to you at the beginning of 0th Week in each term and early August. It is your responsibility (i.e. not that of your Mum and Dad!) to make financial arrangements that allow you to be able to pay battels by the due date. If you are unable to pay your fees or battels by the deadline or you are in financial difficulty please do let us know. 

If you are not able to pay at once, please make an arrangement via the Bursar’s P.A. Telephone: 01865 (2)79550 or email the Student Finance Officer. 
If you have genuine financial difficulties, College will be sympathetic and helpful.

If battels are not paid by noon on Friday of Week 1 in each Term, a flat-rate £5.00 late-payment charge will be imposed wherever the student concerned has not already contacted the Bursar or emailed  student.finance@new.ox.ac.uk to make  agreement for delayed payment. A reminder email will be dispatched as a reminder at the beginning of Week 2, requesting payment of battels. If battels are not then paid by Friday of Week 2, a further charge of either £10.00 or £20.00, depending on the size of the battels debt, will be applied, and the debt will start to accrue interest from the start of Week 4 at 5% above the current Base Rate. It is much cheaper to come and discuss the problem than to hide your head in the sand! Failure to pay by the end of Week 3 will also lead to the student concerned being ‘crossed’; meaning that all credit facilities in College will be withdrawn.

If you are paying by cheque, please ensure that you have sufficient funds in your bank account, as any cheque returned from the bank will incur a £10 admin fee.

Failure to clear battels by end of the Term, or to agree an instalment arrangement with the Bursar, may mean that access to College residential accommodation is denied with effect from the start of the following Term, and in due course if may also mean that the individual’s membership of College is terminated.

Course Fees

Failure to pay via College the University course academic fee may mean that the University will in due course deny access to its facilities (the Bodleian Library, faculty/departmental libraries, computing facilities, laboratories, lectures, examinations). Once this has happened, it could be that Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ will decide that your membership of Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ should be suspended or terminated on the grounds that a student barred from University facilities can no longer comply with College’s requirement that students must pursue diligently their course of study, including attendance, where appropriate, at University lectures, laboratory practicals, etc. Similarly, a student who is ineligible to take University examinations also cannot fulfil the purpose of the Junior Member - Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ relationship: i.e. Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ accepts students to prepare them for the University examinations. Once again, College is sympathetic to hardship, and any student, who anticipates difficulty in paying the University academic fee, or in meeting battels, should arrange to discuss the matter with the Bursar before the Friday of Week 1 deadline for payment of battels. Further details of University and College Fees can be found in the ‘Financial Guide for Undergraduates’.

The amount you spend on your living costs will depend on where and on what you decide to spend your money, but you should certainly be able to make the most of your time here without spending too much. The University provides on the expected cost of living in Oxford, which we encourage students to check when considering their budget. We've also listed out top tips to saving money as a student. 
 

Top tips:

• Eating in the Hall can be one way to spend less money on food. There are also plenty of cheap alternatives nearby, such as the College Bar. Open most days, here you will find sandwiches, soft drinks, coffee and tea, and alcoholic drinks in the events, all at lower than average prices.
• Most shops, restaurants, cinema chains, and heritage sites will offer student discounts. You should be able to use your Bod Card to claim these discounts, but for those wanting to save more you could investigate buying an NUS Extra card. Always check if you can get a student discount before you pay!
• If you plan on travelling over the holiday period, find out if you're entitled to any travel grants from the College and research whether buying an International Student Card would save you money while you are overseas.
• Some banks may offer certain deals to those opening a student bank account. It's important to do your research to ensure you're getting the best deal.
• Make the most of student budgeting websites like StudentBeans and Money Saving Expert, they offer great advice to students on how and where you can save your money.
• If budgeting doesn't come naturally, you may find an online student budget calculator useful. Budget calculators are offered by Brightside, UCAS, and Which?
• Check the amount of maintenance you are entitled to from Student Finance. Eligible students will receive payments each term to help with living costs. 

The College has some funds to help students who face financial hardship, which can be offered alongside , government grants and Student Maintenance Loans. 

Specific details regarding financial support for Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ students can be found in our Finance Guide for Undergraduates, listed in the section below.

• The College has various funds available to assist students in financial need, thanks to donation from Old Members (former students) and other supporters, such as the Keasbey Foundation
• Study grants are available for academic projects during the holidays.
• Vacation residence grants are available to allow you to stay in Oxford out of term to study.
• If a student encounters serious hardship arising from unforeseen circumstances during their course, the College is able to provide more substantial help.
