5.6 Where there is an unused balance on a Student Print Account and the Student has finished their course of study at the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï, then a refund of the balance will be made to the Student by request only, and when the Student Print Account balance exceeds £15.00.

The exception to this are refunds of balances on Student Print Accounts, these will be made by other payment methods.

6. Recurring Card Payment Mandate

6.1 By accepting these terms and conditions, You authorise the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï to charge the debit or credit card account You have provided to collect Payments of Fees as they fall due from the instalment term You have selected as detailed in the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï Regulations for the payment of Fees.

6.2 You agree that there will either be sufficient availability or sufficient funds under the Card limit/account to make the recurring Card Payments when they fall due under the instalment terms.

6.3 In the event that a Payer authorises recurring Payments as detailed in 6.1 above but the expiry date of the relevant Card predates the date that any Fees are due, the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï shall use reasonable endeavours to contact the Payer and the Student giving reasonable notice of such expiry before any Fees falling due after the expiry date of the relevant Card becomes due, but the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï shall have no liability for any failure to contact the Student or the Payer. If your Card will expire whilst Payments have still to be made under a recurring Card Payment mandate, it is your responsibility to notify Us in advance in respect of alternative arrangements for Payment.

6.4 The Payer may cancel its instructions to the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï to collect future Payments from its Card by giving the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï at least 10 days' notice by email to:

studentpayments@winchester.ac.uk  (For security reasons please do not send Card details by email).

The ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï shall confirm in writing to the Payer's email address such cancellation and, where the Payer is not the Student, the Payer consents to the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï providing notice of such cancellation to the relevant Student

6.5 If the Card is due to expire in the circumstances set out in 6.3 and the Payer has not notified Us of alternative arrangements for Payment, or if the Payer gives notice of cancellation of its payment instructions in accordance with 6.4, the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï shall be entitled prior to the relevant expiry date or end of the cancellation notice period (as appropriate) and on notice to the Payer to collect Payment from the relevant Card of all Fees payable to the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï in respect of the relevant Student.

6.6 In the event that the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï is unable to collect any Payment for all or any part of the Fees from the Card as a result of a reason related to the Student, all outstanding Fees for the relevant Student (including all remaining instalments) shall become due and payable immediately by the Payer.

7. Access to the system

7.1 While every reasonable effort has been made to ensure accessibility, the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï does not guarantee that use of the online-payments system will be compatible with all hardware and software of its users.

7.4 The ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï shall endeavour to procure that Payments are processed in a timely manner but the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï makes no representations or warranties regarding the amount of time needed to complete processing because such processing is dependent upon many factors outside of the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï´s control, such as delays in the banking system or in card networks. The Student will not be penalised for delays caused by factors outside the Student's control.

Freedom of Information

What is the scheme?

The Publication Scheme lists information which is routinely published by the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï. A Publication Scheme is a requirement of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. The purpose of the Act is to promote greater openness by public authorities, including Universities and Colleges. The ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï scheme follows the model produced by the Office of the Information Commissioner.

How can I obtain the publications?

In most cases access will be via this website. There may be a charge levied for the production of paper copies. This will cover the cost of producing the copy and sending it. The minimum charge will be £5.

Minutes of several committees are included in the scheme, and are marked with an asterisk (*). For these publications, only the current year's minutes will be available on the web-page. Closed committee minutes, dealing with confidential matters relating to individuals, are not published.

All requests for non-web based publications should be directed to: 
foi@winchester.ac.uk 

Or by post to:

What about information not included in the Scheme?

From January 2005, you will have the right to request any information from the ¾¢±¬´ó¹Ï, which is not included in the Publication Scheme. Requests will have to be made in writing, and we will have to respond within 20 working days. We may charge a fee, based on Fee Regulations applying at the time. We will be unable to release information which is exempted by the Act.
