Important reading before paying your fees

Before you start your course, ensure that you read and understand the information below.

Tuition fee fraud

Scams and fraud are the fastest growing form of crime, so you need to know how to protect yourself against them.  

Never share your personal information (including your ÀÖ¾ºÌåÓý username and password) with anyone else. 

Protecting yourself from scams and fraud

If a company, or someone online, offers to pay your fees at a reduced price, do not respond.

These services are not authorised by the ÀÖ¾ºÌåÓý of Sheffield. If you use these services, you may lose your money. This is because there is no guarantee that payments will be correctly paid to the ÀÖ¾ºÌåÓý.

These services may be recommended to you by friends or family who do not realise the services are not legitimate. 

Be wary of approaches made on social media such as WeChat, Facebook, Instagram, or any other method other than information given to you directly from the ÀÖ¾ºÌåÓý.

Don’t be pressured into making payments - criminals will try to rush or panic you.

For the correct way to pay your tuition fees, check the guidance on this page.
