1 1. Introduction 1.1 This document sets out the policy of the University in relation to student accommodation debt, along with the debt management procedures that will be followed in relation to this type of debt. 1.2 The University has many sources of income, which are collected by different methods. This policy specifically covers the collection of fees and charges payable to the University by current and former students in relation to accommodation fees. 1.3 The policy applies to all students including full and part-time, undergraduate, postgraduate, home and overseas students. 1.4 The Policy is designed to ensure that all students are treated in a fair and equitable manner. 1.5 The aim of the policy is to minimise levels of student accommodation debt, and of bad debts, in order to protect the overall financial health of the University and to allow it to continue to invest in teaching and research excellence. 1.6 The Accommodation Operations Manager and the Accounts Receivable Manager of Finance are responsible for reviewing this policy; Finance and Accommodation staffs are responsible for the effective operation of accommodation debt management procedures; all staff are expected to be familiar with this policy and to contribute to its effective implementation 2. Support to Students 2.1 In applying the policy, the University will at all times seek to be sympathetic to, and understanding of, individual students financial circumstances. However, for the University to do so, students must engage in dialogue with the University if they are experiencing difficulties. 2.2 Action to enforce settlement of debt for outstanding accommodation fees and charges may be taken against all current and former students who have failed to engage with the University to find a solution to settle any outstanding debt and who have failed to honour agreements to pay. 2.3 Students experiencing difficulties in paying any fees and charges should seek help at the earliest opportunity through: Making contact with Accommodation Services Accommodation staff can be contacted by various means. E:vision help desk accommodationservices@wlv.ac.uk Telephone: Appointments can also be made to meet Accommodation Services staff to discuss any accommodation fee related issues.

The Student Financial Support Teams will be the single point of contact for all current students with any financial enquiries or support.

E: vision helpdesk incomesection@wlv.ac.uk Telephone: Appointments can also be made to meet Finance staff to discuss any fee related issue. 3. Communication with Students 3.1 The main form of communication from Finance and Accommodation Services to students regarding outstanding accommodation fees will be via the student s University address. In accordance with the terms set out in the Student Charter, it is expected that students make sure their address and contact details are kept up-to-date to enable the University to communicate with them when necessary. 3.2 Where necessary posted communications may be used. Posted communications from Finance and Accommodation Services are normally sent to the student s term-time address during the standard term and to the student s home address at other times. However, Finance and Accommodation Services reserves the right to send communications to either or both addresses, within or outside standard term dates, as appropriate. Students are expected to collect or arrange to forward mail where appropriate. 3.3 Students are responsible for ensuring that they notify the University immediately if there is any change in either their home or term-time address. Students can use e:vision (the University s online facilities) to notify change of address. The University s central records will then be updated.
3 3.4 Accommodation Services will undertake campaigns to raise awareness to students not to ignore their debts and where to seek help and support if they are in a financial predicament. Information and guidance will also be placed on the Accommodation Services web pages for September intake. 4. Fees: Key Points to Note 4.1 Students are personally responsible for ensuring that all accommodation fees, fines and other charges are paid. In accepting the offer of accommodation, the student accepts a contractual liability to pay the accommodation fee, fines and other charges on time. 4.2 If the student has an accommodation debt and makes a payment, this will be applied against the oldest accommodation debt first. 4.3 In accordance with University Bye Laws, Students will not be able to move into the next year of study with any debt outstanding and this includes accommodation debt. 4.4 Students will be able to graduate with accommodation debt but will not be able to attend a graduation ceremony with outstanding debt. 5. Accommodation Fees 5.1 Full details on how to pay Accommodation Fees can be found on the Accommodation Services website in the section How and When to Pay. 5.2 Accommodation offered by the University is dependent on the student signing a Licence Agreement for the period of accommodation and paying a rent prepayment (the accommodation rent prepayment is currently ). The rent prepayment will be deducted from the sum on the final payment due date. 5.3 The Licence Agreement is a legally binding document. Breach of any of the conditions of the Licence Agreement may result in the University seeking recovery of possession of the accommodation from the student through a Notice to Quit. 5.4 The University has the right to refuse an application for accommodation from a returning student if the University deems they have a poor payment record for accommodation fees. 5.5 The University offers students the facility to pay their accommodation as follows: A single payment in full prior to or at the start of the Licence Agreement. All instalments must be paid by the due dates, direct debit is the preferred method however, cash or card payments are acceptable Three instalment s payable by direct debit for a 37 week occupancy agreement instalment s payable by direct debit for students who sign up to a 52 week Licence agreement For Nursing/Midwifery students, Standing Orders can be arranged to coincide with Bursary payments. Instalment dates will be published annually.
4 5.6 Students who have not paid their accommodation fees by the due dates will be subject to the debt management procedures detailed in Section 8 below. 6. Payment Default Charges 6.1 The University will levy additional charges for the non-payment of debt. The University is sympathetic where there is a genuine problem and students are strongly advised to keep Finance staff and Accommodation Services informed of any difficulties. 6.2 An additional charge of 200 will be levied against the student account if they default on paying one of the three accommodation instalments. Upon the charge being allocated the debt will be referred to the external debt collection agency. If a student fails to pay more than one instalment, only one charge of 200 will be allocated and the additional outstanding monies will be added to the debt being chased. 7.0 Cancellation Charges 7.1 If the student accepts a place within the University Accommodation, but then the University of Wolverhampton decide not to offer the student a place on a course or the students Visa is refused, the whole rent prepayment of will be returned. Accommodation Services will only refund the prepayment upon written confirmation from the University Admissions Unit that the student has not been offered a place on a course or written confirmation from the immigration authority stating the students Visa has been refused. 7.2 Should the student fail to take up occupation under the terms of the Agreement within 7 days of the commencement date the University will be entitled to retain up to 200 from the 300 rent repayment. The remainder will be returned and the licence agreement terminated. 7.3 If a student leaves the University during the course of their Licence Agreement they will be invoiced up to a 200 Cancellation Charge. The student is also liable to pay rent up until the actual date of departure from the residence and return of key. 7.4 Should the student cancel her/his Licence Agreement; Prior to the release of the A-Level results, a charge will be retained from the rent prepayment On or after the A-Level results are released, but prior to the commencement of the Accommodation Licence Agreement, a charge will be retained from the rent prepayment.
