Other eligibility requirements Conditions of early payment discount The University offers the facility to allow students to pay tuition fees in advance prior to registration. Payment in full prior to the start date of your course may entitle you to a discount of 5% off the full fee less any Scholarship offered by the University. Please note an invoice is not a mandatory requirement prior to making a payment in advance. You can calculate what you must pay before start of teaching. All payments will be made via the applicant/student portal. Early payment discount is only available if private fees are over £5000 and SAAS funding does not count towards this. The amount payable with the 5% discount is calculated by taking the full tuition fee amount, subtracting any GCU scholarship, and then subtracting the 5% early payment discount. The amount after this is the remaining amount to pay. For example, an international fee-paying student whose programmes costs £18,900 could have the New to GCU discount of £3,000 subtracted from this total, then have a 5% early payment discount of £795.00 subtracted, meaning they would have £15,105 to be paid. Deposits cannot be refunded to students who did not meet the entry criteria or were unsuccessful in obtaining a visa. Please see fees and refund policy. Tuition fees are paid in full before the first day of teaching. The early payment discount is available for each subsequent year providing tuition fees are paid in full before the first day of teaching each year. Discounts are subtracted from the cost of tuition after any scholarship has been applied. Distance learning students will only be eligible for the 5% early payment discount if they pay the full cost of the course upfront.
