Oxford Brookes University offers a variety of hall and housing choices. Most of our halls are managed by the University. For these halls, your first payment will be your first rent charge, due in early October. However, some halls do require a deposit or rent advance as part of confirming the booking. Please visit the hall pages for more information.
Accommodation fees
Payments for university-managed accommodation are made online via our Accommodation Portal or via Recurring Card Payment (RCP). RCP allows the university to automatically collect payments on scheduled dates so you don't need to remember to log in and pay - this can be set up when confirming your contract.
The portal accepts Visa Credit, Visa Debit, Mastercard and Electron. You will receive an email shortly before each due date to remind you that your rent is due.
If you accept a place in a third-party/partnership hall, payment arrangements will be different. Please refer to the provider's own website for full information.
If you are paying university-managed accommodation fees on a student's behalf, you can use our online payment system. Any amount from £10 to the full balance can be paid.
When making payment, you will need the following details of the student:
- first and last names
- student ID
- date of birth.
When you accept your contract, you can select your preferred instalment plan. Whichever you choose, the total price is always the same. You can also change your instalment plan later if you wish. Due dates are subject to change.
