UK academic institutions can provide platform access for staff and course attendees through an annual billing arrangement administered by Newcastle University. This allows flexible seat use throughout the year.

Step 1: Raise a Purchase Order (PO)

Send a PO to Newcastle University estimating the number of seats required until the next billing period (July). Important
  • A PO must be in place before groups are created.
  • The PO does not need to match final usage.

PO Address

Newcastle University
Kings Gate
Newcastle upon Tyne
NE1 7RU

Step 2: Groups Created

Once the PO is received:
  • groups are created for your institution
  • groups include the billing period (e.g. 23/24)
  • seat capacity allows flexible enrolment

Group Naming

Group names must include:
  • institution name
  • billing period identifier
Examples
  • Newcastle May PIL (23/24)
  • Manchester Spring (23/24)
  • Oxford Oct (23/24)
Names can be changed at any time.

Annual Billing

Billing occurs each July and is based on the number of active learner accounts used during the previous 12 months. Unused seats are removed at the end of the billing period.

Example

If 100 seats were requested but only 50 used, billing applies to 50 seats.
