Student finance say they'll pay my loan months after my university deadline

My University are asking for my first payment of tuition fees on 17th September, but Student Finance say they'll pay my loan on the the 1st February. Can anyone explain this to me?

The date your uni gives is for self-funding people and doesn't apply to you if you're getting student loans.

Your uni is well aware that student finance won't pay it until February. You have nothing to worry about. :smile:

Some unis want you to take your student finance letter (the final one with the barcode) along to enrolment for them to scan though, so you might want to check if you have to do this.

Some universities, mine included, want to see the form with the barcode to show they will get paid and just check it off a list. That usually happens at registration and a few days after that is when you get the maintenance stuff.
