College Discipline and the Payment of Bills 53
(1) University Composition Fees and College Fees (for self-funding
students) and some minor charges (for all students) are payable
termly in advance (see 2.3). Bills will be sent out from the College
Office accordingly at the beginning of each term. Some self-funding
students require annual confirmation from College that they have
paid their fees. The Bursar will be pleased to supply this when
payment has been made.
(2) Meals (see 8.2). Meals are paid for in advance by way of a minimum
billing charge per term of £150.00 for students living in single study
bedrooms in the Norfolk and Laws Buildings and Benet House. All
other students are required to pay a minimum billing charge of £45.00
per term. St Edmund’s College is one of the very few Colleges in
Cambridge which do not charge a Kitchen Fixed Charge. Meals are
therefore paid for in advance by use of your University Card. The
minimum billing charge allocation is put onto the card at the beginning
of term, and further top-ups are made by paying at the College Office.
(3) Rent (see 3.3). For undergraduate students living in College
accommodation, rent is paid termly in advance, a term being defined
as a period of 10 weeks. For postgraduate students living in College
accommodation, rent is payable quarterly in advance. Students living
in houses rented by the College are required to pay their rent
monthly in advance.
Students, Visiting Scholars and Visiting Fellows must ensure they have
sufficient funds available at all times to pay each term’s account in full in
advance, including their first payment on arrival in Cambridge.
A penalty interest charge is applied to accounts not paid in full by the due
date.
All bills must be settled promptly, and your attention is drawn to the
Code of Practice (see 9.2.3).
