    Application deadline looming, can evidence (birth certificate) be sent after deadline
    Hi, I have a confirmed place a hull for september 2011 and I have already submitted and completed the online portion of the application for finance on Studentfinance.gov.uk but now I have to send my birth certificate.

    The deadline, as I'm sure you're well aware, is in two days time.
    So my question is this; Will I still be able to receive finance if my birth certificate is sent after the deadline?

    I have searched google for answers yet the nearest I could find was people submitting their actual univeristy applications after the deadline.

    I am incredibly worried about this as I have already paid for my accomodation.

    Thank you in advance

    You will recieve your student loan, however student finance canont guarentee that you will recieve it in time (i.e. just after you've registered at uni). However if you are only a few days late with your evidence you still have a good chance that it will come on time.

    don't forget you MUST include this form with a birth certificate or it will be refused

    Ah! Thank you very much

    You have saved me much frustration and worry, the deadline is now tomorrow, so I'm going to send the forms off today

    Yes I printed off the passport/birth certificate form at college a few days ago. Now it's just a matter of filling them in and sending them off. Thank you for the help you wonderful people

    As today is a bank holiday it won't reach Student Finance until Wednesday at the earliest so you will have technically missed the deadline. It shouldn't have too much of an effect though.

    so i think this is not gonna end up well for me.

    I'm still waiting for my boss to give me P60 cause i need to send it as evidence. and i know that the deadline was weeks ago.
    Is there still a chance that if i send them the evidence by the middle of this month that they'll accept it and everything will be ok?? or there's already no chance for me and i should stop worrying about that?
