Paying on behalf of an applicant
If a third party, e.g., a family member, wishes to make a payment on your behalf, a secure payment link can be generated and sent as part of the above payment process.
Use the link provided in the ‘Financial Overview’ area of your Applicant Portal, which will redirect you to our payment partner, Flywire. You can access this by logging in to your Applicant Portal and navigating to the ‘My Application’ page. 
Once you have reached the Flywire payment details screen, select the ‘Share’ button in the bottom right-hand corner. This generates a link to send to whoever is making a payment on your behalf, allowing them to enter their payment information.
Once Flywire receives the funds, the payment status is updated and the payment is shown in the ‘Financial Overview’ area of the Applicant Portal.

Tuition fee fraud

The Higher Education sector is seeing rising levels of fraud in relation to the payment of tuition fees. Please do not pay your tuition fee through a ‘third party facilitator’, particularly if that facilitator approaches you direct and offers a discount. A ‘third party facilitator’ could also be someone known to you, such as another student, or a former student at the same university.
You should only ever pay your fee direct to the University using our authorised payment methods.
Chinese students have been particularly targeted. The City of London Police’s Dedicated Card and Payment Crime Unit (DCPCU) has issued an information document which provides further information. It is available in English and Chinese.
Please stay alert and if you have any concerns please contact the Student Accounts team in the first instance – studentaccountsteam@plymouth.ac.uk.
