You'll need to have completed the steps in how to apply for accommodation before you can pay.
Pay your advanced rental payment
The advanced rental payment is not a traditional deposit - the amount is taken off your fees for the rest of the year.
Paying your advanced rental payment using your own money
- Log in to eVision
- Click or tap My Applications
- Click or tap My Balance
- Click or tap Make a payment
You will be directed to our payment partner Flywire, who can accept payments from 240 countries in over 140 currencies.
On the Flywire payment page
- Select your country or region from the list
- Enter your advanced rental payment amount (in GBP) in the Accommodation advanced rental payment box, click or tap Next
- You will be shown the payment options, available currencies, and exchange rates for each payment method for your country.
- Choose your preferred payment method, and follow the instructions on screen.
- Once you have made your payment, the balance in My Balance will update the next working day (UK time).
A family member or friend is paying your advanced rental payment on your behalf
If a family member or friend is with you in person, you can log in to My Applications as above, and ask them to type in their card number or bank details when asked.
If they are not with you, you must not give them your password. Instead, they should use our Flywire guest checkout so they can pay without needing to log in. They will be asked for your Student ID number, so make sure they have this.
Accommodation fees
We will email you to let you know:
- when your accommodation fee invoice first becomes available
- when your fees are due to be paid within 7 days

A standard Direct Debit plan consists of:
- 8 monthly payments for a standard 52 weeks Residences Contract
- 4 monthly payments for a one semester contract
Follow the instructions on screen to set up your Direct Debit payments.
Enquiries concerning payment or late payment should be directed to the Cash Office by email CashOffice@dundee.ac.uk
If you require financial support, please speak to Student Funding.
If you fail to pay your accommodation fees
Payment in full must be made or an instalment payment plan set up by the due date detailed in your Residences Contract otherwise a late payment fee of 3.5% will be added to the amount due.
The precise level of the late payment fee depends upon the amount of your accommodation fees. For example, an overdue fee of £4,500 will incur a late payment fee of £157.50.
In the event that you default on one of the payments due under your instalment plan, the University reserves the right to cancel the Direct Debit Instruction and your fees will become due in full immediately. A late fee will be applied when a Direct Debit Instruction is cancelled
