Payment method

If you choose to pay by direct debit in full, the total amount of tuition fees will be debited all at once. There is no extra charge for payment via direct debit in full.

If you choose to pay by direct debit in instalments, the tuition fees will be debited in five equal instalments. If you enroll as of September, than 1/5^th of the total tuition fees will be debited per instalment. There is a € 24,- administration fee for payment in instalments, to be debited with the first instalment. 

Please note! If you start with a (Pre-)Master's programme in February, the tuition fees for that will be debited in two equal instalments.

• Payment by digital (direct debit) authorisation is only possible from a checking (NOT a savings) account from a bank located in the Netherlands or another SEPA country from someone who is 18 years or older at the moment that the tuition fees are debited.
• By means of direct debit, the account holder authorises Utrecht University to debit the tuition fees (in full or in instalments) from the given account. 
• The direct debit is valid from September (or February) to September (one academic year).
• The account holder must ensure that the account balance is sufficient. If the balance is insufficient, or if for some other reason the tuition fees can not be debited, this will have consequences.

In this case, you can adjust your payment method yourself in Studielink. Go to the Payment tab. Here, you will find the button 'Change payment details'. You can now modify the payment method, the payer, and the account holder’s details.

Go to Osiris Student and navigate to the Cases tab > My cases, and start a new case called CSa change payment details. You can only submit a request if you have provided a direct debit authorization for paying your tuition fees and if you are fully enrolled.

Sometimes, a pop-up blocker on your computer may prevent the OSIRIS case pop-up from appearing initially. You can resolve this by allowing pop-ups. Fill out the form to change your payment details for the tuition fee. Note: If you switch from paying in installments to paying in one lump sum, there will be NO refund of the paid administrative fees.
