When to pay your bill
Bills are emailed to students each term. They are sent from our main Finance email address ONLY finance@girton.cam.ac.uk and will be headed up “Dear Student”. We do NOT ask for bill payments over unsolicited links in emails, but we do collect bank details for any refunds using a link at the bottom of your bill.
