Payment options
You must have your means of paying your tuition fees ready when attending an enrolment event. You may pay using one (or a combination of) the following options:
- Full payment of course fees on enrolment.
- HE loan – you will need to provide your Student Finance ‘Notification of Entitlement’ letter when you enrol.
- Direct Debit – you can pay by (up to) 7 monthly direct debit instalments, one on enrolment followed by 6 consecutive monthly instalments.
- Employer invoicing – if your employer is funding your course, you must provide either a letter of authorisation signed by someone other than yourself on letterhead paper, or an official purchase order number.
If you are planning to fund your course with an HE loan and have not yet applied, then please do as soon as possible.
When applying for your tuition fee loan please ensure that:
- you apply for Student Finance for ‘Higher Education’ (NOT Further Education/Advanced Learning loan).
- you select Bedford College as your Higher Education Institution (NOT University of Bedfordshire)
When you receive your Student Finance England ‘Notification of Entitlement’ letter, remember to sign and return your Student Loan Declaration form. This can be found on the back page of the Notification of Entitlement letter.
If you have any issues with regard to your loan application, please contact Student Finance England on 0300 100 0607.
