Here at Warwick we send out an invoice to all home students late
August for the full home fee.  We then ask them to bring in their
assessment and what they are required to pay on registration or
we offer them to pay in instalments.

We then use the SLC list that comes out in december to track
down and alter the fees for any we have not sorted out prior to that
date.

Statements are sent at the end of term 1 to remind students where
we have had no assessment and no payment up to that point.
