FAQ
Can I choose how to make the payment of my tuition fee?
Yes, you can choose to make your payment online or by transfer
From July 2025 on you can pay your tuition fee online. There will be a payment button on the payment request which is mailed tot you.
After the payment is done, this button will turn green and you will receive a payment confirmation.
If you would prefer to pay by transfer than you can find all information on the payment request.
Don't forget to mention the payment reference.
Caution: a payment by transfer gets no payment confirmation.
On Oasis you can check your account balance before and after making the payment.
Please be aware that it will take at least 2 to 5 working days to register the payment.
When will I receive my payment request/refund
Payment requests and reimbursements are mailed to the student and take place at fixed times during the academic year:
after enrolment, first week of December, mid March, first week of May and first week of June
Why did my tuition fee increase? / Why is my payment request so high?
After enrolment you receive a standard payment request (mostly for 60 credits).
If your enrolment or the amount of credits changes during the academic year, you will receive by mail a new payment request with an adjusted tuition fee in the first week of December, mid March, first week of May or first week of June.
How much do I need to pay for my enrolment with a creditcontract?
Your tuition fee will depend on several factors, but mainly on which courses you take.
The courses are charged according to the formulas found on the tuition fees page under the groups:
- Bachelor Programme, Linking Programme and Preparatory Programme
- Master Programme (not Advanced) and Master's Programme in Teaching
- Advanced Master Programme
On which bank account number will I receive the refund?
The reimbursement will be done on the bank account number mentioned in Oasis. This may differ from the account number of the original payment.

Will I receive a confirmation after I have made the payment?
If you paid online, a payment confirmation is automatically mailed to you.
If you pay by transfer then you will not receive a proof of payment but you can check your account balance in Oasis.

Can the address of my employer or company be stated on the payment request?
No, it can not. A payment request is always addressed to the student with the name and address of the student. We can not adapt this.
