Proceed with the payment of your registration fees

sic |

Payment of registration fees is made exclusively via our online payment platform. It offers two payment methods:

- Payment by Bancontact.

- Payment by bank transfer. The transfer can be made by a relative. In this case, the bank details can be sent to them by email (see below).

 

Please note: Payments are managed by our partner MOLLIE (Stichting Mollie Payments). It is therefore normal to see this company listed as the beneficiary of your payment.

Payment deadlines

31 October: deadline for paying the €50 deposit and any additional fees (sports card and solidarity card).

1 February: deadline for paying the full enrolment fee.

 

Please note: as payments may take a few days to reach us, we advise you to pay before the deadline and not to wait until the last day, especially if you wish to access your exam results quickly.

 

Special case: education allowances

As long as your application for student grants is being processed by the FWB, you do not have to pay anything and are not affected by the deadlines mentioned above.

- If your application for student grants is accepted: the FWB will pay your registration fees.

- If your application for student grants is rejected:

Before 1 January: you are subject to the same payment deadlines as other students.

From 1 January onwards: you have one month from the date of notification of your grant rejection to pay all your registration fees.

 

What happens if there is a default of payment?

- After the due dates mentioned above, the Enrolment Office will proceed with your disenrolment from UCLouvain.

- Please note that you will not be able to access your exam marks if there is a payment default.

- Please note that if you are disenrolled after 1 February, you will remain accountable for the full amount of your enrolment fees to UCLouvain.

You will only be able to make your payment once your enrolment or re-enrolment request has been accepted by the Enrolment Office and your enrolment status is "provisional" or "confirmed". 

 

Step 1 - Connecting to the payment platform

Go to the payment platform.

You can check your balance in advance by downloading your enrolment notice (invoice) from your virtual office.

 

Step 2 - Access your payment

Next to your balance, click on the “Details” button.

 

Step 3 - Select the amount to pay

At this stage, you should see a screen showing the offer you have signed up for and offering you two payment options. You can choose to pay the full amount or just the deposit.

- If you choose to pay the deposit, you can choose to pay more than the deposit amount, but not less. The deposit takes into account any additional costs (sports card and/or solidarity card), which are added to the €50 deposit.

- From 11 November onwards, only the ‘Pay the full amount’ button will be available; the ‘Pay the deposit’ button will no longer be available. You will be able to pay in instalments of at least €100 until 10 February.

- From 11 February onwards, you will only be able to pay the full amount of your registration fees. 

 

Step 4 - Select payment method / make payment

After clicking on ‘Pay the full amount’ or ‘Pay’, you will be redirected to a page where you can choose your preferred payment method.

1. Pay electronically. The transaction will be processed via our service provider, Mollie. If you have a residential address in Belgium, the only method available to you is to pay via Bancontact. If you do not have a residential address in Belgium, you can pay by Bancontact or credit card.

2. Pay by bank transfer. You will receive all the information you need to make your transfer directly to UCLouvain's accounts. Please note that this method is the slowest. It is possible to use a cheque account or a Visa account.

3. Ask a third party to pay. You can send the payment information to a third party by providing an email address. This person will receive an email from the Registration Department inviting them to click on a URL link ‘UCLouvain.be’, which is valid for 7 days. The person can choose to pay electronically or by bank transfer.

 

Step 5 - Confirmation

When your payment is registered, the message ‘Your balance is being recalculated’ will appear in place of your balance, unless you have paid by bank transfer.

Your balance will be updated in the next few days (see question below).

You will also receive an email with a registration notification, summarising the amount paid.

Depending on your payment method, the processing time may vary. The average processing times per payment type are:

- 3 working days for payments by Bancontact.

- 5 working days for payments by bank transfer.

- 10 working days for payments by credit card.

 

These processing times are provided for informational purposes only and are therefore subject to change.

The most important thing is not to waste time. You have 15 days to settle your payment and be re-enrolled.

 

Note: There is no need to contact the Registration Office. Please follow the two steps below.
