How to pay

Do you have a Dutch checking account? You’ll be directed to your own banking environment for issuing your digital direct debit authorization.

Note: As of 1 October 2024, direct debit authorizations are standing authorizations. That means your payment details are used for the entire time you are enrolled at HAN. So also for future years of study.

Do you have a checking account in the SEPA area? Then in many cases you can issue a digital direct debit authorization in Studielink using that account. 

Are you from an EU country outside the euro area? Then you cannot issue a digital direct debit authorization in Studielink using your bank account in your home country. 

You have 2 options:

1. Open a Dutch checking account and then issue a digital direct debit authorization through Studielink.
2. Transfer the full amount of your tuition fees to the HAN bank account:
   
   IBAN: NL51 INGB 0007 9977 22
   BIC: INGBNL2AXXX
   
   in the name of: Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (written in full), stating name and student number in the comments field.

 Please note:

• The above account is new as of the 2023-2024 academic year. Change it if needed in your bank address book

EU/EEA students 

It’s best to pay your tuition fees or organize a digital payment authorization before 1 August. Officially you have until 31 August to do this. Only when all admission requirements are met on time, including tuition fee payment, will you have access to the educational facilities. Haven’t paid yet or organized your digital payment authorization? Then you may receive emails from us reminding you to pay your tuition fees. 

Non-EU/EEA students 

You need to pay the tuition fees (part of the Financial Guarantee) before 1 June for the September start and before 1 November for the February start.

Yes. But not right away. One hour after entering your payment details, the 'Change payment details' button will appear on the 'Payment' tab. Then you can change your details. What you can change depends on when you entered your payment details. Read below what applies to you.

1. You entered payment details before 1 October 2024
You can change your bank account details at any time in Studielink if the authorization is in your name. Not in your name? Then complete and sign the Change of Payment Details Form (PDF) and send it to cicdesk@han.nl.
Want to change your method of payment? From installments to a single payment? Fill in the above form. From a single payment to installments is not possible until the following academic year when you re-enroll via Studielink.

2. You entered payment details on or after 1 October 2024
You can change the method of payment or payment details at any time in Studielink. So you can change your bank account number, indicate that someone else will pay for you or change from paying in full to installments and vice versa.

Note: Did someone issue an authorization for you? This person can change the payment details themselves. They can do so using the payment link they received earlier. You can also find the payment link in Studielink under 'Messages'.

Did you apply for a degree program at HAN before 1 October 2024? Then you issued an annual direct debit authorization. Your payment details are valid for one academic year.

Did you apply for a degree program at HAN on or after 1 October 2024? Then you issue a standing direct debit authorization. That means your payment details are used for the entire time you are enrolled at HAN. So also for future years of study.

It is not possible to cancel a direct debit authorization. If the other person wants to cancel the authorization, you need to issue an authorization yourself. You can do this by changing the payment details. See the FAQ 'Can I change my payment details after I filled them in in Studielink?

That depends on your situation. Do you owe statutory tuition fees* at both HAN and another institution? Then you don't have to pay tuition fees twice. You can request Proof of Paid Tuition Fees (BBC) from the university of applied sciences or university where you have been enrolled the longest. In all other cases, you have to pay tuition fees at both institutions. 

* Statutory tuition fees are the fees charged to EU/EEA nationals, Swiss and Surinamese nationals

You can request Proof of Paid Tuition Fees (BBC) digitally through Studielink under certain conditions. These conditions are:

1. You are eligible for the statutory tuition fees*
2. You have already paid tuition fees at the institution where you are applying for the BBC. Either by issuing a (digital) payment authorization or directly transferring the tuition fees in one go
3. The institution where you are enrolling for a 2nd program uses the Digital BBC service through Studielink

* Statutory tuition fees are the fees charged to EU/EEA nationals, Swiss and Surinamese nationals

Once you receive a payment request from Studielink, you can either issue a digital authorization or pay with a Proof of Paid Tuition Fees (BBC). Go to Step-by-step plans (studielink.nl) to find out how to pay with a BBC. HAN will automatically get notice of this.

Not possible to request a digital BBC via Studielink? Send your request via email to sia@han.nl. Please include the following: 

• Your name
• Your HAN student number 
• The name of the institution for which you need the BBC

It is possible that the Proof of Paid Tuition Fees (BBC) is not visible in Studielink. The solution depends on where you are in the process. See which of the options below applies to you.

• I didn't start the payment process. It can take a while before your payment at another institution is processed in Studielink. Try it again later.
• I started the payment process but didn't complete it. Studielink probably has to reset your payment. Click on the link to Studielink below for more info on this topic.
• I already paid for the 2nd degree program in a different way. If you already completed the payment process for the 2nd degree program, you can only change your payment method to a payment with BBC if the payment details you entered are valid for multiple years. The change will only take effect from the next moment of payment.

There are 2 options:

1. You or someone else makes a lump sum payment to: 
   
   ING BANK N.V.
   Bijlmerdreef 109
   1102 BW AMSTERDAM
   IBAN: NL51 INGB 0007 9977 22
   BIC: INGBNL2AXXX
   Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen
   Postbus 5375
   6802 EJ Arnhem
   
   Include your name and student number in the comments field.
   
   Note: the above account is new as of the 2023-2024 academic year. Change it if needed in your bank address book.
    
2. Someone else with a bank account from an EU country in the euro area issues the authorization for you, until you have a Dutch bank account yourself. Indicate in Studielink that someone else will pay your tuition fees. The other person must then confirm the digital (direct debit) authorization. You don't have to do that yourself.
   
   This is how you get the digital authorization confirmed:

• You received an email with a payment link. Forward that email with the payment link to the person issuing the authorization for you, so they can sign it.
• The person clicks on the link in the email and confirms the payment details.
• You’ll receive an email once the other person has confirmed the authorization.
• Studielink sends the authorization to HAN.

As soon as you have a Dutch bank account, send an email to CICdesk@han.nl. State your name and student number and ask for a Change of Payment Details form. Complete and sign the form, save it as a pdf file, then send it back to CICdesk@han.nl. They will update the authorization to your account number. As of the next direct debit, the tuition fees will be deducted from your bank account.

As a student you have the right to quit your studies at any time without giving a reason. Just submit a request for termination of enrollment on Studielink.

Enrollment can only be terminated as of the 1st of the following month (or a later month which you can indicate in Studielink). You can’t retroactively terminate your enrollment. Once you terminate your enrollment, you’re entitled to a refund. The amount is 1/12th of the total tuition fees for each remaining month. There is an exception though. Are you terminating your enrollment as of July or August? Then you are not entitled to any refund of paid tuition fees.

No, you can only pay in installments after submitting a digital payment authorization form in Studielink. If you do not or cannot submit a digital payment authorization form in Studielink and choose instead to transfer the payment directly to HAN, the entire tuition fee amount must be paid in a single transaction. 

Submit your digital payment authorization on Studielink at least 10 days before your degree program starts. Then you can be sure you have access to all HAN facilities when you start your program. 

You can use the mobile version of Studielink to enter your payment details. But you can only confirm the digital payment authorization with the desktop version. Problems entering or confirming your payment details? Use the regular desktop version.

As a student, you are responsible for paying your tuition fees. This means you are also responsible for submitting the digital payment authorization form in Studielink. This is part of the enrollment conditions. 

Please note: HAN does not issue invoices. 

Ask your employer to transfer the tuition amount to you so it can be deducted from your bank account. Your employer can also transfer the amount directly to:  

IBAN: NL51 INGB 0007 9977 22
BIC: INGBNL2AXXX
in the name of: Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen (written in full),  
stating name and student number in the comments field.

Note: the above account is new as of the 2023-2024 academic year.

Submit the digital authorization form in Studielink by selecting the option "I'm paying the fees myself". This ensures you meet the enrollment conditions ("payment of tuition fees"). 

As soon as you’re enrolled on  the My Application portal, you can request proof of enrollment from the Enquiry Desk. Use this proof to declare the costs with your employer. Has your employer transferred the tuition amount before the first day of the month in which your degree program is scheduled to start? Your digital payment authorization will be cancelled and the tuition fees will no longer be deducted from your account. 
 

If you'd like to pay the full tuition amount for the current academic year (paying in installments is not possible), you can transfer the amount to: 

ING BANK N.V.
Bijlmerdreef 109
1102 BW AMSTERDAM

You can arrange for someone else to pay your tuition fees for you. Go to Studielink and click on "Who is paying the tuition fees = Someone else". You will receive an email with a link. Send this link to the person who will pay your tuition fees. They can use the link to enter their payment details so that the tuition fees can be deducted from their bank account. Please note that the bank account must be from an EU country in the euro area.

Request a "Change payment details" form from the Tuition Fees Administration by sending an email to cicdesk@han.nl. Complete and sign this form, save it as a pdf file, and mail it back.
