Accommodation prices and payment
Take a look at accommodation fees for all University of Surrey owned accommodation.
Pay your fees
Paying for your room
You will be asked to make an advance fee payment of £250 when you accept your room, but there is nothing else to pay for your room until your invoice is sent to you. This will be done after you have moved in.
Your invoice for accommodation fees will normally be sent to your University email account within 14 days of you moving in.
The invoice will be for the whole of your license period, and if you are staying for more than 15 weeks it will be split into instalments.
Below is an example of how much you would pay for each instalment if you live in one of our Band D3 rooms costing £211.50 per week during the 2026/27 academic year:
| Payment | Period covered | Pay by date | Amount due |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Advance Fee Payment | On room offer | £ 250 |
| 2* | 19 September 26 to 02 January 27 (15 weeks, less prepayment) | 25 October 2026 | £ 3,172.50 |
| 3 | 02 January 27 to 03 April 27 (13 weeks) | 25 January 2027 | £ 2,749.50 |
| 4 | 03 April 27 to 14 June 27 (10 weeks 2 days) | 26 April 2027 | £ 2,175.43 |
| 5 | 14 June 27 to 04 September 27 (11 weeks 5 days) | 6 July 2027 | £ 2,477.57 |
| Total | £ 10,575 |
* The payment date of the second instalment may be later than this date as it is based on the date that the accommodation invoice is sent to you .
**Undergraduates are allocated for the period 19 September 2026 to 14 June 2027 so they will make the first four payments. Postgraduates are allocated for the period 19 September 2026 to 4 September 2027 so they will make all of the payments.
The pay by dates for the above installments are designed to be just after most students receive their funding from Student Finance England.
