Interest-free
instalment plan
Helping you pay bit-by-bit
At the Institute for Optimum Nutrition, we understand that managing tuition fees can be challenging. That is why we offer an interest-free instalment plan to support our students in spreading the cost of their studies.
Who can apply?
All students are eligible to apply for an instalment plan. Payment schedules are determined based on the student’s country of residence:
- Country Group 1 (CG1) – Students based in the United Kingdom
- Country Group 2 (CG2) – All other international students
How it works
- Instalments are granted on a yearly basis, following the published term dates
- Students opting to pay in instalments must sign and return a Student Credit Agreement
- New students: Must arrange this at the time of accepting their offer
- Progressing students (years 2+): Must request a Student Credit Agreement during re-enrolment
- A deposit, forming part of the yearly tuition fee, must be paid by the registration deadline
- Deposit amounts and specific payment schedules for each course are provided below
Payment process
- Country Group 1:
Instalment payments must be made via GoCardless Direct Debit. A GoCardless link will be emailed a few weeks before the course begins, or upon finalising enrolment if joining a course late. - Country Group 2:
Instalment payments must be made via direct bank transfer.
Important Terms
- Students must carefully review the Pre-Contract Information for the Student Credit Agreement before applying, as well as the Student Credit Agreement before accepting the terms
- By agreeing to an instalment plan, students commit to making payments on the scheduled dates. Failure to meet payment deadlines may result in:
- Loss of access to course materials and lectures
- Potential withdrawal from the course
- Withholding of academic transcripts and certificates
- Full tuition fees becoming immediately due
- Students who suspend their studies or defer module(s) remain responsible for the full tuition fees for that academic year, as per their Student Credit Agreement
- Students withdrawing after the 14-day cooling-off period or after 30-day of the commencement of the course will be liable for any outstanding fees, as outlined in the Cancellation and Withdrawal section of the Tuition Fee Policy
- ION reserves the right to decline an instalment request if necessary
